Tomato Gojju is called Tomato chirdillo in Konkani and is an age old Konkani recipe.
Mashed Tomato with Green chilly and Salt and seasoning in Coconut oil with Mustard and Curry leaves is called Tomato Chirdillo in Konkani.

This Tomato Gojju is a little spicy and sour dish made using ripe Tomatoes, a delicious accompaniment to plain Rice and is a famous Konkani dish in Kochi GSB homes..My Mother used to make this recipe often in my child hood days. The seasoning in Coconut oil is awesome and makes the Gojju more  delicious.This is a no onion no garlic side dish.

The consistency of the Gojju is thick or semi thick or Watery. Adjust the consistency of the dish according to your choice.The recipe is simple, quick and easy to make with just few ingredients.
