Summary:

If you’ve ever searched for a comforting tomato curry recipe after a long workday, this one is going to feel like a lifesaver. A simple tomato curry is one of those familiar Indian dishes that comes together quickly, tastes amazing with roti or rice, and feels light on the stomach.

But here’s what usually happens: the meal tastes satisfying in the moment, yet you feel hungry again within a couple of hours. That’s because most regular curries are low in protein and fiber.

This upgraded version solves that beautifully.

Ingredients

  • Tomato – 100 g (3 small tomatoes)
  • Garlic – 2-3 cloves
  • Green chilli – 1
  • Dhaniya powder – ½ tspn
  • Red chilli powder – ½ tspn
  • Salt – As per taste
  • Hing – one pinch
  • Oil – 10 g (2 tspns)
  • Dry red chilli – 1
  • Prolicious Up It – 1 scoop (15 g)


Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Boil the Tomatoes

Boil clean tomatoes until they become soft and easy to blend. Let them cool slightly.

This brings out their natural sweetness and creates a smooth curry base.

Step 2: Prepare the Tomato Base

In a blender jar, add boiled tomatoes, garlic, green chillies, dhaniya powder, red chilli powder, and salt.

Blend into a smooth paste.

This is the same base you’d use in a classic how to make tomato curry style recipe.

Step 3: Add the Protein & Fiber Boost

Now add 1 scoop Prolicious Up It to the blender jar and blend again.

This simple step turns your regular tomato curry recipe into a more balanced and filling meal.

Step 4: Prepare the Tempering

Heat oil in a pan.

Add hing and dry red chilli, and let it splutter for a few seconds.

This gives the curry that familiar homely aroma.

Step 5: Cook the Curry

Pour the prepared tomato base into the pan and mix well.

Let it cook for 2–3 minutes.

Step 6: Adjust Consistency

Add water slowly until you get your preferred consistency.

Since Up It naturally thickens the curry slightly, this step helps you customize it.

Step 7: Final Simmer

Let the curry simmer on low flame for 3–5 minutes.

This helps all the flavors come together beautifully.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

Serve hot with roti, rice, millet roti, or as a side dish.
