Tomato Tantalizer

Ingredients
4 medium-sized tomatoes
3/4th cup cooked Basmati rice
1 tbsp. finely-chopped onion
1 tbsp. freshly-grated coconut
1 tbsp. small raisins
1 tbsp. garam masala powder
1 tbsp. finely-chopped mint
¼ tsp. turmeric powder
1 tbsp. butter
salt to taste

Method
Immerse the tomatoes in boiling water for a minute or two, strain and keep them aside.
Heat the butter in a pan and fry the finely-chopped onion in it till light brown. Put the cooked rice along with the freshly-grated coconut, raisins, garam masala powder, finely-chopped mint, turmeric powder and salt in the pan. Mix it all well. Now your filling is ready.
Cut the tomatoes lengthwise, carefully scoop out the pulp and invert onto a plate.
Divide the filling into eight equal portions and fill into the tomato shells.
Serve with plenty of tomato ketchup.
