Indian curries and gravies are known worldwide for their taste, richness and mouth-watering flavours. At the base of that distinct sweet-tangy flavour of Indian curries is tomatoes—the heart and soul of Indian curries. Be it Butter Chicken, Shahi Paneer, Paneer Makhani or Pav Bhaji, it is tomatoes that balance the spices and bring out the burst of flavours in the poster dishes of Indian cuisine.
The magic of making perfect Indian curries is using tomatoes the right way. One needs to choose the right tomatoes and put them in the right quantity to get that perfect consistency. Unlike most other cuisines, appropriate tomatoes for Indian cooking are not the ones that are sweet but the ones that have some tartness. Tomatoes in Indian gravies and curries play the role of souring agents and add a thick texture and tangy flavour to the dish.
Hence, culinary experts always prefer using home-grown tomatoes as opposed to the foreign and hybrid varieties, which are less on tanginess. Native tomatoes give our curries the rich-red colour and ‘khatta-meetha’ flavour, a signature flavour of lip-smacking Indian curries.
