Tomato Gojju

This is probably the first dish I ever learnt to make from mom. Its quick and easy to make and tastes yummy. We generally make it when we are short of time or when we are traveling.
Ingredients:

1. Tomatoes ( chopped finely) - 6
2. Onions ( chopped finely or into thin long slices) - 2
3. Green chillies (slit into long pieces) - 3
4. Chilli powder - 1 tsp. (optional)
5. Dhania powder - 1 tsp. (optional)
6. Mustard - 1 tsp.
7. Oil - 3 tsp.
8. Coriander leaves for garnishing.
9. Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Procedure:

1. Heat oil on a kadai. Add mustard and allow it to splutter.
2. Add green chillies, curry leaves and onions and fry till onions turn translucent.
3. Add tomtoes and cook with closed lid on a low flame for 5 minutes.
4. Add chilli powder, dhania powder and salt. Cook for 5 more minutes. Stir well.
5. Garnish with coriander leaves and remove from flame.

This dish tastes best with chapatis. It can be had with dosa, ragi dosa and idlis too.
Variations:
Add finely chopped capsicum or brinjals or peas after onions and before tomatoes and cook for a few minutes for an enhanced taste.
