Hi friends, hope u all
enjoyed your weekends... Tomato is one of my most favorite and I never say no
to tomato dishes except raw tomatoes... I always prefer tomatoes in my menu and
used to have it with idli/dosa/rice... Here I got fully ripe tomatoes so want
to make the delicious and tangy tomato kuzhambu... The taste is too rich with
coconut milk in it.
