Gojju is very popular Karnataka side dish prepared using most of the asian vegetables like bitter gourd, onion, green beans etc….
Here I have the recipe for gojju using the Tomatillos. Taste wise tomatillos are sour in nature, with the right amount of salt and jaggery this gojju is heavenly. Very delicious and goes well with rice, chapathi, rotti….

Tomatillos are very good source of fiber, niacin, potassium, and moderate amount of Vitamin C, Vitamin K.
