Tempered Tomato Raita

Amma's Recipe #18

This is one raita I love eating with Bisibelebath. They both complement each other beautifully without overpowering.  

You Will Need:

200ml Thick Plain yogurt

1/2 kg Ripe Tomatoes, Roughly Diced

3 Green Chillies, Finely Chopped

Some Curry Leaves

Some Chopped Coriander Leaves

1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds

1/2 tsp Urad Dal

1/2 tsp Sugar

Salt to taste

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil

The Cooking:

Heat a kadai with oil. Once hot crackle mustard seeds amd urad dal. Then add the curry leaves and chopped green chillies.  Saute few sec and throw in the chopped tomatoes and coriander leaves. Sprinkle salt and sugar.  Saute for 5 mins on medium heat. You dont want the tomatoes to go mushy. Then take off heat and mix in with beaten curd.

NOTE: Let the tomatoes cool a bit before adding to the curd to prevent splitting of the curd.

Happy Cooking!

Vinegar Yogurt Dressing

Any salad is incomplete without the dressing. The dressing gives a whole new dimension even to the simplest of all. This VINEGAR YOGURT DRESSING is something I came up that doesn't have mayo as its base. I was quite unsure when mixing the ingredients, but in the end it all tasted beautiful. It was tangy, sweet and garlicky. Always when you are making a dressing, adjust the saltiness, sweetness and sourness according to your liking. Some may like it sweet whereas some may not like the sweetness. This dressing went perfectly well with my Roasted Tomato Corn Salad.

You Will Need:

A Cup of Low Fat Yogurt

Juice of Half a Lemon (or) 2 tbsp of Vinegar

1/4 tsp of Soy Sauce

1 Garlic Clove, Grated

1/2 tsp Sugar (or) a tbsp of Honey

1/4 tbsp of Oregano (or) Pizza Seasoning. Yes, you can cheat ;)

Salt to Taste

The Cooking:

Just Whisk everything together and chill. Use as a dressing for any of your favourite salad.
