Tips & Secrets

  • Using firm (not soft) tomatoes is mandatory for achieving the most professional-grade structural integrity during cooking.
  • Ensuring the besan is toasted provides the absolute secret to achieving superior professional-grade aroma and avoiding raw taste.
  • The addition of a little ginger-garlic paste to the stuffing provides the essential professional-grade spicy-zest lift.
  • Always arrange the tomatoes with the cut side facing up specifically to ensure the signature professional-grade presentation is maintained.
