Ingredients
- 8 Tomatoes, similar in size
- 1/4 cup Chopped onion
- 1/4 cup Finely chopped spring onion greens
- 1/2 cup Boiled green peas
- 1/2 cup Finely chopped, boiled carrot and cauliflower
- 2 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- as needed Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Chili powder
- 2 Tablespoons Grated cheese
- Oil (for sauteing)
- 2 Teaspoons Chili sauce or capsicum sauce
Instructions
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes of similar size. Slice off a thin lid from the stem end with a sharp knife. Carefully scoop out the pulp and seeds with a spoon. Turn upside down on a plate to drain.
- Heat oil in a pan and saute the onion until reddish. Add the scooped-out tomato pulp and stir well. Once the water has dried up, add the vegetables and saute.
- Finally add salt, pepper powder, chili powder, and the sauces, and stir on low heat for a few more minutes until thickened.
- Once cooled, fill the tomato shells with this masala, top with grated cheese, and bake in a preheated oven (180°C). Once the cheese melts and just starts to change color, remove from the oven and arrange on a plate to serve.
