Green tomato and chicken curry

It has been a bad year for growing tomatoes due to the miserable summer. Too much rain, hardly any sunshine. Although my tomato plants did fruit a lot, unfortunately, many of them died before the fruit could turn red. Therefore, I ended up with loads of green tomatoes. =_=II

Maybe, it's not bad to go green. What goes well with red tomatoes may be alright with green ones too. I had no choice but to think positive and try to use them in my cooking.

Thus red tomatoes were replaced by green ones in my chicken vindaloo. To be honest, it's not bad at all! The tangy flavor of green tomatoes does give the dish some extra kick!
