Tomatoes even though are available all year round, they are at their peak taste during the summer months.

This summer we had a lot of Tomatoes, Bell Pepper, Banana Pepper and Egg plant in our backyard.

Combined with the goodness of different vegetables in different colors, they were not only a feast for

the eyes, but for the taste buds and a guilt free and healthy food for the body. Very easy to make

and go easily with rice or flat bread. this curry was a sure hit. Try it out and you will be happy you

did.
