Tomato Gravy for Idli or Dosa
This is a satisfying dish pairs very good with idli or dosa. This is a recipe of our family may be most of the families in tamil nadu. As far as I remember this is the best combination for idli other than sambar in our house right from my childhood. My mom used to prepare a big bowl full of this curry for idli and we end up eating 2 more idlies just b'coz of this tomato curry and in no time the bowl would be empty. I used to mix idli with that tomato curry and make a big mess in my hand and eat it ..eww.. that way it was even more tastier only in my child hood times not now ;-). Here is the recipe..

Oil - 2tsp
To Grind
Coconut - 1/2 cup Grated
Ginger - 1" piece
Seasoning
Mustard - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1tsp
