7. Follow it by green chilli, ginger garlic paste, saute for another 1 minute.
8. Next add tomatoes and the saved tomato pulp and saute it well, until the tomato gets mashed.
9. Next, add chili powder, channa masala, tumeric powder and salt.

18. Turn off the heat once the stuffed tomatoes’ skin has wrinkled and the raw smell of the tomato is gone.
19. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with chapatti or any stuffed paratha.

Notes:

1. If the gravy is too thick add more water.
2. For the small tomatoes for stuffing, I used Roma tomatoes, which is more firm.
3. For the gravy, I used vine-ripe tomatoes, which gives more tangy-ness
