Tomatochi Bhaaji is my entry for RCI Maharashtrian Cuisine and Nupur's "T of Indian Vegetables".
Tomato is known by the same name in Marathi. Tomatochi Bhaaji aka Tomato sabji is another dry sabji which is usually prepared with Thalipeeth(a Maharashtrian bread) but goes best with the punjabi Aalo Paratha! Onions and tomatoes, salt n sugar, some spices and peanut powder is all it takes to prepare this lovely sabji!!
