Stuffed tomatoes

Stuffed tomatoes... the name makes my mouth water. Saw a chef making this on tv yesterday and i just got reminded of how much i wanted to have it. Its really a very long time since i had it... sure more  than 2 yrs :)  Everybody has their own liking for stuffing, below is my simple way. The spice level varies to my mood ;)

Serves... 2 ppl 
Serve option... as an appetizer, warm

This is what u'll need....

Tomatoes 2 small
Chopped onions 3 tbspn
Green chillies 2 chopped
Cooked spinach less than 1/4 cup
Cooked peas 1/4 cup

Here is the stir....

• Cut each tomato lengthwise and scoop out the pulp
• In a small bowl mix oil, 1 tspn grated garlic, salt, red chilli powder. Toss in the tomatoes and coat it well. Keep it aside
• Mix all remaining ingredients except 2 tbspn bread crumbs and oil. Make it into a lumpy dough. You can use potatoes instead of beaten rice too
• Fill the tomato cups with stuffing and top it with bread crumbs. There will be leftover oil from the tomatoes, keep it for now
