Sweet & Sour Tomatoes
This sweet & sour tomatoes recipe is one of my all-time favourite tomato dishes. From Rashmi at Rohet Garh, it epitomises the food of the desert – simple yet flavoursome.
It can be served with other vegetable dishes and makes a great accompaniment to grilled fish or chicken, especially during summer when fresh, light flavors are in demand.
Sweet & Sour Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1½ teaspoons chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a kadhai or wok and fry the cumin and mustard seeds over a medium heat until they splutter.
- Add the tomato and stir until coated with the seeds, then stir in the ground spices, salt and sugar.
