Onion & Tomato Curry

 Hello friends,  its been longtime I have posted a new recipe. Lot of things happened  in last  few

 months. Couldn't complete August last week posts as I had to travel to India.  It was a sudden and a 

 short  trip but nothing serious, all well. Its been 4 yrs I have been to  India, luckily  I was able to 

 celebrate my birthday and Ganesh Chaturti with my family after soo many years. 

 It is so nice to be back to blogging. Today we are starting with 2nd week of Blogging Marathon 128.

 I choose to post 3 side dishes for Tiffins. Poori is one of our family favorite tiffin. Kids love to have

 poori with Chana masala or Besan potato curry, whereas dear husband likes to have with onion

 tomato gravy. Onion tomatogravy  is one of the simplest curry which goes very well with poori or

 Chapati. Lets check out  the list of ingredients and procedure.....
