Bharwan tamatar || Stuffed Tomatoes With Gravy
Bharwan tamatar- today I am sharing the recipe for a scrumptious Stuffed Tomatoes In Makhani Gravy. Makhani stands for Buttery And Creamy, enjoy this mouthwatering dish.
My garden is full of tomatoes and peas these days and among all vegetables, these two are my favourite.Moreover, I like to have tomatoes in all forms: raw, cooked, baked. In fact, I make a variety of chutneys, sauces, pickles and salsa with tomatoes.
health benefits:
A medium-sized tomato contains around 22 calories, 0 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fibre, 1 gram of protein and 6 milligrams of sodium. It also provides the recommended daily allowance of 40% of vitamin C, 20% of vitamin A, 2% of iron, and 1% of calcium. Here are some of the health benefits of tomatoes.
In fact, Numerous studies indicate that eating tomatoes lower the risk of certain cancers, like lung, stomach and prostate.
A substance called lycopene, which makes tomatoes red, is thought to be the reason for this cancer-protective effect. Tomatoes also contain important nutrients, such as niacin, folate and vitamin B6, that are associated with the prevention of heart disease.
Serving suggestion :
Moreover, tomatoes should be included in all our daily diets. In India, we consume tomatoes in almost everything we eat. In fact, stuffed Tomato Curry is One of my favourites!! A very tasty curry, with tomatoes stuffed with panner. However, You can eat the stuffed tomatoes without the gravy as well. Stuffed Tomato is a great dish to be served with continental food. I have, however, given it a little Indian touch by adding a makhani gravy to it.
included with this recipe is also a video of a recipe for Makhani Gravy. Please bear with it, as it was my first video and was not perfectly made.
Finally, I would like to suggest a few more recipes from my blog:
