Tomato Saar (टोमॅटोच सार) is one of my childhood favourites. Whenever I would be at my gran's place for lunch, this is what I would have! I relish tomato saar with steamed rice while everybody else in my family enjoys it with poli. Although we're divided on the accompaniment front, we all agree that the saar is simply delicious !
