TOMATO - ONION FRY

Tomato onion fry is a very simple dish that tastes great.It takes up a little extra time to prepare because the onions have to be caramelised slowly without burning it.The process is long but totally worth in the end.The sweet caramel taste of the onions and the tartness of the tomatoes simply creates a mouth watering dish.I also add a lot of curry leaves than required which gives a lovely aroma to the dish. One can make it luxurious by adding boiled eggs or fried potatoes or paneer.But i like to keep this one simple.They go very well with chapathis or bread.

This is my post on day 16 of RM 2.

Onions and peppers have such a great flavor, It's nice to eat them as a main dish, which I do not do often enough... Both are so healthy, too! Looks great!
