Tomato Gothsu(Gojju)

It can replace a routine of breakfast or Indian Bread sidedishes for a change or variety. Simple yet a delicious and mild accompaniment to Indian Breads.This is done by the Keralites (as I came to know abt this dish  from my Malayali Friend last year). Needs 20 mins cooking time for its arrival at the Dinning table.
This serves 4 nos.Enjoy cooking at home.Enjoy ur meal.Bon Appetit!.
