Dinner: Tomato Cut Salan - By Vahchef @ Vahrehvah.com

just like the famous Mirchi ka Saalan and Baghare Baingan, Tamatar cut Saalan is also ubiquotous to Hyderabadi cuisine. All these three mentioned curries, the perfect sides to a Biryani, have the same base gravy, with only brinjals in Baghare Baingan, chillies in Mirchi ka Saalan and tomatoes here in Tamatar ka Saalan. You can also add fish to the same curry base and you get Machli ka Saalan. I have used cherry tomatoes for the curry. Usually regular tomatoes are used which are simply cut into two halves. Tamatar ka Saalan is also referred to as Bagharay Tamatar by some people. salan for pulao and biryanis http://www.vahrehvah.com/tomato-cut-salan Ingredients 1 tbsp coconut powder 1 bunch coriander leaves 1 tsp coriander powder 2 sprigs curry leaves pinch 0 fenugreek seeds 2 number garam masala 1 tsp ginger garlic paste 2 number green chillies pinch 0 mustard seeds 1 tbsp Oil 1 number onion chopped 2 tbsp peanuts as needed red chilli powder as needed salt 2 tbsp seas seeds 1 cup tamarind juice 6 number tomatoes pinch 0 turmeric pinch 0 zeera Directions Take tomatoes cut open the top and remove the seeds from inside and keep it aside.

Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.
