One more delicacy of Hyderabad which goes very well with Hyderabadi bagara chawal or hyderabadi vegetable dum biryani. I am always found of eating the cooked whole tomato. My m-law uses whole tomato in fish pulusu and i just love to eat the whole tomato.
Ate tamatar ka salan for the first time at a wedding of my husband's friend. Then I totally forgot about this curry. Recently i read someone mentioning about tamatar ka salan in a fb page which I follow. Last Friday I wanted to make a elaborate dinner for us and opted to prepare tamatar ka salan and vegetable dum biryani. It's a lengthy process to make this curry but it's worth making it. The gravy is rich and tangy. Here is the recipe:-
