This Simple tomato yogurt curry is a fantastic curry worth trying. First, we cook fresh tomatoes, onion, and ginger in boiling water with turmeric powder, and then we season it with mustard seeds, shallots, dried red pepper, and curry leaves. This curry is so natural and flavorful to have with some warm rice.
In Kerala, seasoned yogurt (curd) curry is typical in every home. Although we use many different ingredients in yogurt, we rarely make it with tomatoes. Even though many other curries are equally delicious, we only make them occasionally. If you make this curry once, you will always make it.
