Tomato Raitha

My aunt V has contributed this recipe and it is one of my favorite dishes from my grand mom's kitchen. 

Ingredients

2 Ripe tomatoes

2 Green chilies

1 Table spoon Chopped Coriander

1 Table spoon of mustard seeds

2 table spoons of oil

2 cups yogurt

Salt to taste

Preparation

Wash and cut tomatoes into cubes of 1 inch

Wash and Slit green chilies into halves

Wash and chop coriander

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and wait until it pops. Then add chilies, cut tomatoes and half of the chopped coriander and fry until the tomatoes soften and skin starts to peel. Allow this to cool and then add yogurt, salt and the remaining chopped coriander. This is good with rice or as a side dish with rotis, Rice and rasam, sambar etc.

Raitha with a slight variation can be prepared using mashed potatoes. Instead of tomato, boil and peel potatoes and mash them and keep it ready. Follow the same procedure as above and fry the mashed potatoes for a minute.
