Eid special this year is Cherry Tomatoes and Minced Lamb(Kheema Tamatar),a juicy spicy side dish that would leave any meat-lover asking for more.I know meat is the attraction of this recipe,but what makes it even more special is the garden fresh Cherry tomatoes.I had a whopping good cherry tomato harvest from the vegetable patch,almost 3 pounds!.I love to snack on them or just add on any entree or side dish towards the end of cooking process,for a juicy tangy touch to the recipe.

found this through the zaiqa roundup. i tried it with regular cherry tomato and then later with the desi ones that you get in hyd, the ones that are just right for rasam and sambar but the small, just ripe ones, and i let myself be a little more generous on the mint, cliantro and coriander powder as well as salt. turned out neat both times. great one.
