Onion and tomato gojju

Gojju (gravy) are always required for idli's, dosa and chapathi. For that matter at my house people demand them for rice as well along with rasam. So this onion and tomato gojju is very popular one and could be had with anything.

2. Tomatoes 6-7
3. Green chillies 7-8
4. Roasted gram dal 3 tablespoon
5. Grated fresh coconut 1/2 cup
6. Rasam powder 4 tablespoons
7. Oil
8. Water
9. Salt
10. Curry leaves
11. Coriander leaves
12. Mustard seeds
13. Turmeric
14. Jaggery about a lemon size

4. Add the tomatoes, salt and a little water and cook till tender.

Variation: If you're using the sour tomatoes then emit tamarind, if not use about a lemon size of tamarind extract and add it after the tomatoes are cooked for the sourness.
