    Hot and sweet Tomato Jam

    This recipe is from a book by Tupperware India.
    Tomatoes - 400 gms, jaggery - 50 gm, oil - 2 tsp, green chillies - 4, salt to taste, mustard - 1 tsp, hing - a pinch.
    Clean and cut the tomatoes. Slit the chillies. Heat oil and add mustard seeds and hing. When it crackles, add green chillies and fry a little. Then add tomatoes and fry well. Add salt when half cooked. When almost done, add jaggery and cook well. Keep it refregirated. It will not keep for long, only upto 4 days even in fridge. Will have a sweet and hot taste, can be had with chapathy etc. Even children will love it. Also this is without onion and garlic.
