Tomato yogurt curry – Easy and perfect recipe for summer, made with simple ingredients – Tomato yogurt curry recipe with step-by-step pictures and full video.
Summer is at its peak in many parts of the world. We prefer to spend a minimum of time in the kitchen and finish our work and come out. This tomato yogurt curry is a very simple and delicious gravy that pairs well with hot rice. The addition of tomato and yogurt in this recipe makes it perfect for summer.
This is similar to mor kuzhambu but a very simple version of it. This can be paired with idiyappam or sevai too. I have tasted the Sindhi tomato kadhi recipe a few times. This is similar to the Kerala moru curry. If you are a fan of simple recipes, do give this a try. You can pair this potato fry, vendakkai thoran or vazhakkai fry, or cauliflower pepper fry.
