Tomato Rajma Bites for Kids and Family

I and family visited Yercaud, a Hill Station near Salem, last year. I happened to eat a yummy recipe which was something close to what I’ve made here today. Grilled Tomato I could see and some beans along with it and it was truly eye-catching and tasty. One Sunday I gave a thought of trying it in my kitchen and here is the outcome I’m sharing with you all today.
