Tomato Raita

This is something that i always make when i make bisibele bath. I somehow do not like the normal tomato raitha in which tomatoes are chopped and dunked in curd with onions. That only goes well with parathas in my opinion. If i want a raitha for any south indian style rice recipes, then i ll go for this one.
