Egg Podimas Tomato Recipe | (Extremely Quick) Scrambled Egg

What is Egg Podimas Tomato Recipe?
Egg Podimas with Tomato is a simple recipe where tomatoes are added along with the usual Egg Podimas or muttai poriyal for a tangy taste.
If you need a tangy taste on top of the normal muttai poriyal /egg podimas, this is the one to try.
The tanginess of the tomato depends on what type of Tomato you use.
Usually, I prefer adding the hybrid or Bangalore Tomato variety rather than the country or naatu Tomato variety. The latter one adds more sourness/tanginess to the dish.
So choose the right Tomato according to your need.
This recipe can be prepared in less than 5 minutes.

- Once the onions are cooked, add in the finely chopped tomatoes.
