Fried Red Tomatoes - Delicious to Relish!





Fried Red Tomatoes:

You would have probably heard a lot about 'Fried Green Tomatoes', most famous appetizers/snack in Southern parts of America. Where they slice green tomatoes/ tomatillos and coat it with bread crumbs and deep fry! The double dipped batter works the crispness! Almost, all the Southern food follow the same principle 'Fried Okra', 'Fried Chicken' etc. Even though its all quite appetizing, I am pretty scared to keep frying often!! First of all, I actually intended to tweak the recipe a little...but at last' completely sabotaged the original recipe! Here you go' something different, but good:)

Ingredients:

Ripe red tomatoes 2-4
Garlic 7-9 cloves
Cumin seeds 1/4 spoon
Salt
Turmeric 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 3/4 spoon
Olive oil few spoons.

Method:

In a wide wok, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and garlic, fry till fragrant.

Add spices and tomatoes, fry till tomatoes skin cracks down a little and not more than that.

Garnish with basil leaves or green onions.

Now, you will have juicy spicy tomatoes ready, delicious to relish:)
