Ingredients

1 1/2 pats butter

2 cloves of garlic, sliced

1 1/2 - 2 oz. fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 large hot green chilli, chopped (remove the seeds )

6-7 curry leaves

1 tsp ground cumin

Seeds from 5 cardamom pods

10 tomatoes, cored and split in two widthways

Salt

2 1/2 - 3 oz creamed coconut dissolved in 5-6 tbsp boiling water

Squeeze of lime juice, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

Fresh coriander, chopped, to garnish

Directions

Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed shallow pot or frying pan.

Add the garlic, ginger, chilli, curry leaves, cumin and cardamom. Allow the spices to stew gently before laying the tomatoes on top, skin side down.

Lightly salt their surfaces and spoon over the coconut cream.

Loosely cover and set over an extremely low heat.

Much of the juice from the tomatoes will form a sauce, helped along by the creamed coconut.

When this is coming along nicely, baste the tomatoes with the sauce to blend in the coconut cream.

When the dish is ready - after about 30 minutes - the tomatoes should still have their shape and the sauce will be slightly separated but creamy in parts (if it seems too dry, add a little water). Squeeze over the lime juice, grind on the pepper and sprinkle with coriander.

It’s best served at room temperature.

Just made this one for husband and he thought it unusual, but very tasty.My home-grown tomatoes have toughish skins (the British weather !) so take care.

If your tomato skins are tough. boil a pot of water ,drop who tomatoes in for about a minute...take out with a slotted spoon and removr the skins.let cool or put in fridge til cold and then slice. Hope you will try it again.

Liquidise for a soup and dip in some warm / toasted pitta breads. Also be good poured over some noodles for a vegetarian meal.
