TOMATO CHILLI MASALA

Long, thick chillies are used for making Bajjis, ie chillies are dipped in gram flour paste and deep fried. My daughter Dipti loves bajjis. A few days back only I had prepared this, so I did not feel like making them again. I prepared something new- a curry and it goes really well with chappatis or rotis or phulkas. This preparation can be served at breakfast or lunch or dinner. Why don't you try this out and send me your comments??? :)
