    About This Recipe

    Green Tomato Curry (Hare Tamatar Ki Sabji, Raw Tomato Curry) is a North Indian style semi-dry sabji made using unripe green tomatoes, jagger, and a few spices.

    The tangy taste of green tomatoes pairs very well with jaggery. Make this sabji for everyday meals and serve it with roti, paratha, or dal rice.

    Health Benefits Of Green Tomatoes

    Green tomatoes are unripe tomatoes that are still firm and have a green tint. They are sour in taste and are often used in recipes that require a tart flavor.

    Although green tomatoes are not as popular as their red counterparts, they offer several health benefits.

    1. Green tomatoes are rich in nutrients.

    Green tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and fiber. They also contain lycopene, beta-carotene, and lutein, which are important antioxidants that can protect your body against disease.

    2. Green tomatoes can boost your immune system.

    The high levels of vitamin C in green tomatoes can help to strengthen your immune system and fight off infections.

    3. Green tomatoes can help to improve your digestion.

    The fiber content in green tomatoes can help to keep your digestive system healthy and promote regularity.

    4. Green tomatoes can help to lower cholesterol levels.

    The antioxidants in green tomatoes can help to reduce bad cholesterol levels and improve heart health.

    5. Green tomatoes can help to protect against cancer.

    Green tomatoes contain lycopene, which is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to protect against some types of cancer, such as prostate cancer.

    Ingredients

    Green Tomatoes – Choose firm green tomatoes without any blemishes on them.

    Spice Powders – You will need basic Indian spice powders like coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and asafetida (hing).

    Jaggery – Use organic black jaggery for its health benefits. The light-colored jaggery has chemicals added to it to lighten its color and they are harmful to the body.

    Others – You will also need vegetable oil, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, fresh ginger, garlic, green chilies, salt, and cilantro (fresh coriander leaves).

    Storage Suggestions

    Hare Tamatar Ki Sabji can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
