How To Make Tamatar Ka Bharta :
- Roasting Tomatoes:
Rinse tomatoes very well in water first. Then place them on a wired grill rack and begin to roast the tomatoes. You can also place them directly on the stovetop. You can also grill the tomatoes or roast them in the oven. But then you won’t get the smoky flavour. Turn them after a few minutes for even roasting.
The tomatoes should get charred. Roast the tomatoes till they are completely cooked from within. With a knife check the doneness. The knife should be slid easily into the tomatoes without any resistance. Peel and chopped finely and keep aside.
- 2. For masala:
peel and chopped onion’s, chopped green chilly and crush mava with fingers heat a pan on fire put oil in it and add jeera, stir till crackling add chopped onion and ginger garlic paste in oil, stir well cook till oil separates now add 1 tbsp tomato puree and all dry masala, mix well.
