Tomato stir fry

One of my favourite and easy side dish.This side dish reminds my childhood days and school days. My mom knows I am very fond of tomatoes.So she prepares this for me as a side for the school days lunch.Whenever I open my lunch box I would smile.. Because tomato is there.. I dont know some body says it is not good for kidney.There is a chance to form stones in kidney.To avoid this remove the skin of tomato while eating.. Then no problem. Forming kidney stones is the only problem but otherwise it is good for skin and nutritious.
