Bharwaan Tamatar (Stuffed Tomatoes) Directions
- Slice the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the pulp. Save tops to use as lids later.
- In a deep bowl mix vegetables, cilantro (coriander), chili, onion, ginger, gram masala and salt - one by one; also add tomato pulp and mix thoroughly.
- Heat 3 tablespoons ghee (or vegetable oil) in a kadhai (or a large frying pan), and sauté cumin seeds until they change color. Then carefully arrange tomato shells in pan, over cumin.
- Stuff shells with vegetable mixture. Replace tomato lids and secure with cocktail toothpicks. Sprinkle leftover mixture around tomatoes in pan.
- Cover pan and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes. Carefully turn tomatoes over a few times and add more ghee as necessary so that tomatoes do not stick to pan.
- Serve hot or cold.
