Notes
I made this as a no onion no garlic tomatoes. But you can include shallots and garlic. Add them after tempering before adding tomatoes.
Adjust the salt, jaggery and tamarind amount according to the sourness of the tomatoes and according to your taste preference.
You can either use sambar powder or rasam powder or the combination of both. Adjust the measure according to your liking.
If you need thin consistency, then add more water and for semi-thick consistency allow it to simmer for a longer timer.
You can add some gingelly oil while the gojju is simmering.
