TOMATO CHAT
One among the very famous street chats from Bengaluru, tomato chat is very less known to the people from outside this city. It is a combo of health, guilt free, low calorie yummy food which can be prepared at home very easily & quickly as well. I did it in a hurry, so the images are not so good, but I ensure that shortly I will prepare it shortly very soon and shall post the proper pics.
