Chunky Tomato Onion Gojju
Wednesday, June 08, 2022
A simple side dish to go with chapthi, roti, dosa and even rice. May be used as savory bread spread as well. Since it does not go bad easily, it is good to take in lunch-box. This is a south Indian style dish, lets say a distance cousin of Tomato Chutney. Gojju is somewhere in between chutney and a curry :))
Ingredients:
- 3 - tomato medium size
- 1 - onion small size
- ¼ cup - fresh coriander - chopped
- 3 tbsp - sambar powder
- 1 tsp - chana dal | split chickpeas
- 1 tsp - urad dal | black gram
- ½ tsp - cumin seeds
- 1 tsp - mustard seeds
- pinch - hing / asafoetida
- 1 stem - curry leaves
- ½ tsp - turmeric powder
- 1 tsp - jaggery or sugar
- 1 tbsp - tamarind pulp
- 2 tbsp - oil
- salt - as per taste
Preparation:
- In a small bowl, soak chana dal and urad dal. Just for about 10 minutes, not too long
- If not using store brought tamarind pulp, soak small-lemon size tamarind in water
- Chop tomatoes and keep aside.
- Finely cut onion and coriander leaves, keep aside.
Method:
- In a pan heat oil, once oil is hot, add mustard seeds. once the mustard seeds starts to sputter, add cumin seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, and drained chana dal and urad dal, Stir for few seconds.
- Add cut onion and jaggery. Stir and cook until onion is translucent.
- Now add cut tomatoes and sauté for a minutes.
- To the mixture, now add turmeric powder, tamarind extract and salt.
- Stir the mixture, cover and let it cook for about 10 minutes or until the tomatoes looks cooked
- Now add sambar powder and mix. This is a good time to taste to check if salt and spice are right. If needed add salt and/or red chill powder or sambar powder if you prefer the gojju to be more spicy.
- Cover and continue to cook for 3 more minutes or until you will notice the oil separates and starts to collect at the edge of the pan.
- Once done, transfer to serving bowl, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with chapati/roti/dosa or rice..
