Prep time: ≈ ?

Cook Time: 15 mins

Serves : About 1 cup (serves 4‑6 as a condiment or dip)

📝 Ingredients You’ll Need

    • 4 -5 Ripe Tomatoes (medium to large)
    • 6‑8 Garlic cloves
    • 1‑2 Green chilies (or more, to taste)
    • ½ medium, finely chopped Onion
    • 1‑2 tablespoons Mustard oil (or other oil you prefer)
    • ½ tsp (adjust to heat level) Kashmiri Red chili powder / paprika
    • ½ tsp Salt, to taste
    • ¼ tsp Roasted cumin powder (optional)
    • Handful of Fresh coriander (cilantro) finely chopped
    • Lemon Juice from about ½ lemon
    • ½ to 1 tsp Sugar / jaggery (optional) (if you want a sweet‑tangy balance)

👩‍🍳Instructions:

    • Roast/Blister Tomatoes & Garlic 
      Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic cloves first until they start changing color. Then place halved tomatoes in the pan, cover, and let them cook/roast until the skin blisters and begins to peel. This step adds smoky flavor. Alternatively, charr the tomatoes over a high flame ( as pictured).
    • Cool & Peel
      Once roasted well, remove from heat and let them cool a bit. Peel off tomato skins if you want a smoother texture.
    • Mash or Blend
      Mash the tomatoes and roasted garlic (you can use a blender for smooth or leave a bit chunky for texture). Add chopped onions, chopped green chilies.
    • Season
      Stir in salt, black pepper, kashmiri red chilli powder, & roasted cumin powder (if using). Mix with lemon juice for brightness.
    • Finish with Fresh Herbs
      Add chopped coriander. Taste and adjust — maybe more lemon, more heat, or more salt.
