Tomato gojju is a Karnataka recipe which is usually served with Roti or Rice. This recipe is quite easy to prepare with the minimal quantity of ingredients. This is a no onion recipe which can also be served with Idly or Dosa. The tomatoes are sautéed in an oil until soft and cooked along with the rasam powder and jaggery. This spicy and sweet curry is a quick fix curry to serve for breakfast along with roti or dosa. Prepared this recipe for an event Shhh secretly cooking challenge hosted by few blogger friends.
