Tomato
kurma is a typical South Indian breakfast side dish for dosas and idiyappams. I
still remember my mom making this when we have unexpected guest and serve them
with dosas or puris. This can be made very quickly and needs very less
ingredients and also totally packed with vitamin C. Do check out other interesting and delectable Kurma Varieties here.
