directions
- Peel the tomatoes if you can be bothered- I don’t as I think they add a little extra flavour!

- Or open tin if cheating!
- Heat the oil in a wide pan and add the cumin seeds.
- Stir about, then add the green pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, mashing them down as they soften.

I made this per the recipe and it is just okay for me. Other reviewers added onion and I would suggest that as well. But it defintely needs to be eaten with rice, nan, or even potatoes, which another review also suggested... It is not something that I can eat as is with a spoon all on its own. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed this recipe very much, made for PAC Fall 2007. Simple and easy to put together, quick and delicious for a mid-week supper. I did add a roughly chopped onion, sauteeing it with the green pepper. The vegetables were crisp and tasty, the sauce mild but satisfying. I served it with rice. Thanks for a great recipe, Tulip-Fairy!

Thank you for stopping by to look at my page...here's a little bit about me...
I live in the Uk with a hungry husband and two of my three fussy daughters. We follow a low carb diet which keeps our weight in check and I can stay off he wheat....it makes me poorly.
I love making cakes, cookies and desserts for family and friends.
In my life I am looking for world peace, unlimited supplies of organic chocoalte & self cleaning kitchen floors! I am at my happiest when getting paid, drinking wine & cooking cakes but it makes me very unhappy when it's my turn to wash up, when someone eats my chocolate, drinks my wine or uses my toilet!
I work as a part time cook in a children's centrel. My afternoon job sees me as parish administrator at my local church. Outside of work I try to be as inactive as possible, although I do a bit of dog walking with ozzy (thankfully he only has little legs and doesn't need to go far.

I am also interested in working towards early retirement, we intend to leave the kids in the house, travel around Europe in a silver camper van 'doing' all the F1 Grand Prix spending their inheritance as we go!!
My favourite films in no particular order are: Pulp Fiction, Blues Brothers, Dirty Dancing, Fight Club, Pretty Women,Vanilla Sky, The Breakfast Club, Hideous Kinky (although the book is better), Ferris Buellers day off, Autumn in New York, Mistress of Spices, Splash, Scent of a Women, When Harry met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Notting Hill I could go on and on and on....but I won't!!!!
Some of my favourite books are, 365 Bedtime Stories, Harry Potter, Pomegranate soup, Julie / Julia Project, Hideous Kinky, Dinner with a perfect Stranger, The Tao of Pooh, this list really could go on and on and become endless as I am an avid reader.
