Quick Tomato Koshthu preparation time 20 mins
Tomato kosthu is something special in our native place. The term kosthu is used commonly in places like chidambaram, mayiladuthurai, etc. When compared to other chutneys this is bit special and will be cooked occasionally. Kosthu can be made using other vegetables also which I will publish in due course.
Ingredients:-
Tomato - 2 (finely chopped).
Onion - 2 (finely chopped i.e. small strips of 1/2 inch)
Red chili - 2 (make to 2 pieces each)
Curry leaves - 5 (washed and finely chopped)
Coriander leaves - 4 (washed and finely chopped)
Turmeric powder - ¼ tsp
Water - 1 cup
Mustard - ¼ tsp
Urad dhal - 1 tsp
Sesame oil - 2 tsp
Roasted and powdered 2 tbspn of coriander seed & 2 red chili
Salt to taste
Preparation method:-
In a tawa add 1 tsp oil, mustard, urad dhal & chili. When dhal is golden brown add the chopped onion, tomato, turmeric and fry of few mins. Add water, salt and boil till the ingredients are cooked.
Add the coriander & chili powder to the gravy and boil for few minutes.
If kosthu is thin add little bit of rice flour mixed with 1 tbspn of milk. It will become bit thick.
Finally transfer to a bowl and garnish with curry and coriander leaves. This chutney can be taken with dosa/idli.
Note: If you want more spice you can also add chili powder.
