Simple Tomato Curry

This is very easy to prepare. Once again, this we prepare when we come home tired in the late evening. I like this a lot. We can add our toppings to this curry. Just add an egg and it becomes more delicious. We can also add dried prawns to this; but i yet dont know the procedure to do it. And naveen prepared this by adding Mehthi and fresh prawns to it. That was awesome!!! It took me by surprise :-) It made me fall i love with him again :-) I was the happiest woman that day; as he prepared exclusively for me. Even this recipe would follow soon. Unfortunately am unable to add any pictures. Well!!! for now here is this simple recipe.
