SIMPLY TOMATO CURRY

Usually it is the potato curry that I make as a combination for chapathi or puri. But today it is simply tomato. My husband remembers his college days where he used to have chapati with tomato curry. I have tried many times to replicate his taste, but every time the answer is-not the same taste. Finally today I made a tomato curry which has almost the same taste as he used to eat in his college days. He gave me 8 on 10. The ingredients are simple, procedure is simple, taste is awesome.
