Consuming vegetables such as onions, tomatoes and potatoes is very common in almost every Indian household as it is an essential part of every dish. The use of these ingredients means there is a never-ending demand for them along with other vegetables like brinjal, gourds and more. 

The Indian Institute of Vegetable Research (IIVR) in Varanasi has developed a technique through which potato and tomato can be grown on a single plant and the same is named as 'pomato'.

Pomato was developed last year and IIVR scientists have been trying to further improve the quality and quantity of the same.
