Sauteed Green Tomatoes (Pacha Thakkali Mezhkkupuratti)

Green tomatoes (Pacha Thakkalli) make a delicious saute with onions. It is an excellent side dish for lunch. I was trying out Green Tomatoes for the first time and we liked it a lot. My mom used to make a thoran with Pacha Thakkali and it used to be equally delicious. Here is my recipe for Sauteed Green Tomatoes or Pacha Thakkali Mezhkkupuratti.

    This was delicious. We had green tomatoes in the garden I needed to cook. I didn’t have curry leaves so I used powdered curry. I left out the chili because my family doesn’t all like heat in food. It was still very good. I will make it hotter when I am back at my own home!
