Aromatic and tasty green tomatoes curry

Green tomatoes with gravy. Had not thought of any innovative recipes for green tomatoes until I saw this recipe online. Added a couple more ingredients and made it even better. The exact same ingredients can be combined to create a delicious green eggplant/brinjal side dish.
