Tomato gravy for idli and dosa/Easy and simple gravy


 This is a simple and different method of making tomato gravy. I got this recipe from my MIL. Its her method of making tomato gravy which I tried and came out fantastically.

I used to make coconut chutney, tomato chutney for dosa Idli. But it was boring to repeat these chutneys and hence tried this method.
This gravy is very simple and easy that any body can try out. Lets see how I made it.
Ingredients:
3 tomatoes
1 onion
2 green chillies
3 tabespoon sambar powder
2 cups of coconut milk extracted from 1cup(200g cup) grated coconut..

Seasoning:
1 tablespoon Mustard
1 sprig curry leaf
5 tablespoon coconut oil.
How will you make coconut milk?
  • Take 1 cup grated coconut in a bowl.
  • Add 2 cups of water in the bowl.
  • Squeeze the coconut scrapings well with the hand so that it releases the milk.
  • Squeeze it well and strain the milk in another bowl
  • Now the coconut milk is ready. We can also grind the coconut in a mixer jar and squeeze it to get the milk more thicker.
How to make tomato gravy?
  • Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and after it splutterd add curry leaves.

  • Then add chopped onion and sliced chilli and saute it.

  • Saute until the onion becomes transparent.

  • Then add chopped tomatoes and saute it.

  • Add sambar powder and saute it.

  • After sauting for 5 minutes, add the coconut milk and bring it to boil.

  • Allow it to boil for 5 min in medium flame and switch of the flame.

  • Tomato gravy is ready.

This is a fantastic side dish or curry for dosa, Idli, Idiyappam, appam etc. On the day of making this gravy, I had it with dosa and was delicious.



We can also add coconut paste instead of coconut milk. But coconut milk gives a rich taste than coconut paste.
Hope you like it.
Be Happy and Long lived☺☺☺
