Tomato Onion Curried Sauté

Tomatoes and Onions are great combination. I love this sauté with almost any dish. It tastes great with bread, chapathi, dosa, idly. You can just mix this with rice and it tastes really yum!! Today being Sunday, I was too lazy as usual to do anything. I made this sauté in the morn and we used it in different forms at different meals of the day. Morn, we had it with bread as a sandwich. In the noon, I mixed it with rice and we had it for our lunch along with some chips and now for dinner, I just diluted it with water, heated it little bit and its ready for my hot idlis. :-) This one dish served my day. :-) People at home cant really guess the secret as we use it in solid and diluted forms...
