Method of Preparation

Wash the tomatoes. cut each one lengthwise from the tip to 1/2 inch from the stem and cut again lengthwise across this cut, forming across. Be careful not to cut right through the tomato.

Put the ginger , garlic, cilantro, coconut and the 1/2 cup of water in a blender and blend until liquefied. Mix together the blend mixture, peanuts, turmeric, masala powder, salt and sugar to make a thick paste. Using your hands makes this easier. Spread open the tomatoes and stuff each one with the nut paste.

Heat a deep frying pan on medium and add the oil ,cumin seeds, mustered seeds and hing. Stir until the seed pop. 

Put the stuffed tomatoes and stir gently. 

Add the 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and partially cover. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Tomatoes, being nightshades, usually have a negative effect on the tridoshic balance, if taken in excess. The seasonings in the recipe above help ease this negative effect.

Note:
Vata can add some garlic and should eat this only occasionally
