CAN TOMATO BE MIXED WITH WHEAT FLOUR TO MAKE ROTIS?

Tomato is a fruit and should not be cooked directly on the flame. When we make a roti, we heat it on tawa and the flame destroys the nutrients in the tomato.
It is best to eat tomatoes raw. Or, they should be added to a dish towards the end, after the stove has been switched off, so that they are only lightly steamed by the steam inside the pot, never cooked directly on the flame.
