This tangy pyaaz tamatar ki subzi, might just fall into the category of a chutney but I like to have it as a vegetable fry. This time I did a slight tweak in my recipe and added coconut (since my husband is a big coconut fan!) and voila! it took a whole new taste.
After our dinner I made a sandwich out of the leftover for a friend who dropped in the day after. “You make a dish out of anything!” That’s what she said when I told her this is tomato-onion vegetable fry. First there was raw tomato vegetable and then sev tamatar and then this. For her a combination of tomato and onion can only form the base and needs to have the core ingredient. But when she had it, she sure did ask for more.
