Tomato plays a vital role in our kitchen. Without this vegetable we can hardly prepare any North Indian gravies. Tomato gives a good color to the gravy with a little tangy flavor. Spicy Tomato Bhaji is a very easy to make recipe with less tangy flavor. Ginger and Green chilies are its added flavor which enhances the spicy taste of Bhaji/ Sabzi. This will be a best side dish to be served if you have any unexpected guests for lunch or dinner. This side dish can be served with Rice, Chapatti as well as Bread/ Roti. The main positive aspect is that this can be preserved in room temperature for 2 to 3days in an air-tight container. Only one thing we need to be careful is to completely dry the gravy while cooking. Let’s get into the recipe:
