Tandoori bharwan tamatar

Tandoori bharwan tamatar is a traditional dish originating from Punjab. The dish consists of grilled and stuffed tomatoes. The tops are cut off, the seeds are scooped out, and the tomatoes are then stuffed with a mixture of paneer, diced boiled potatoes, peas, raisins, turmeric, cumin seeds, oil, chili powder, and salt.

The tops are placed back and each tomato is tied with twine. The stuffed tomatoes are coated with a marinade consisting of eggs, flour, salt, ajwain (carom seeds), and yogurt. They are skewered and roasted in a tandoor or grilled until fully cooked.

If properly prepared, the filling should be piping hot. Bharwan tamatar is served hot and it's usually accompanied by chutneys and salads.
