Looks soo good.
I have never made anything with green tomatoes, so i have bookmarked this recipe.
Good going dear Maheshwari - I have come here to personally invite you to participate in the Maha Meme at My Dhaba. Please do check out for more details. Best regards, vkn
Tomatillos although they look like raw tomatoes, do belong to Gooseberry family like Nellikai.That's why they are so sour. Great for Pachadi and raita though. Love the masala ingredients!:)
You must miss your mom so much, hard to care of 2 young kids alone! I remember! Phew! Glad they are grown now, still have to take care but lot easier!:)
Hi Maheswari...
This is a different try. Loved it. Looks so good. Does it taste good with rotis.
I adore tomatillos and this would be a delicious use of them! :)

I did not have a good experience cooking with tomatillos. But recently I'm seeing a lot of mouthwatering dishes using tomatillos in the food blogosphere. I have to try it again.
Your dish looks so good. I think it's like tomato kurma we make, but with tomatillos.
I have used tomatillo only in dals mostly. Pachadi all by itslef with tomatillos surely sounds very nice. Will try it ..Thanx for sharing the recipe
