I was not sure what i could make with otherwise uncommon herb in my kitchen, but when my daughter ordered a particular continental cuisine in a nearby restuarant she liked the aroma and the taste of the dish which contained this flavourful herb called rosemary.So i did a simple curry like thing which can be used as a tortilla wrap,roti rolls or can be simply eaten as well.Rosemary is not an indian herb,but it is widely used in the italian cuisine.They have a slightly bitter and astringent taste.The...
We always look for accompaniments for the main dishes and they are always an added attraction to our main dish.Raitas are good sidedishes for any rice variety and when i made coriander rice last week i also made this capsicum tomato raita.The crunchiness of fried capsicum was well complimented with freshly chopped tomatoes.It is a very quick recipe and can be made by bachelors as well.I am posting this as my first bachelor recipe,so that it will be an easy side dish option for them.Do use fresh and unsour thick curd for better results.See recipe below..
