Method
Get ready: Wash the tomatoes, green chillies, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Peel and finely chop the onions, chop the tomatoes, peel and mince the garlic, slit the green chillies and chop the coriander leaves. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.
Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for 1 minute until hot. Add mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves and green chilli. Fry for 1 minute until the mustard splutters and the curry leaves are crisp.
Add onion and salt. Fry on medium flame for 5 to 6 minutes until the onion turns light golden. Add garlic and ginger garlic paste, then fry for 1 to 2 minutes until the raw smell goes.
Add the chopped tomatoes. Cook on medium flame for 7 to 8 minutes until the tomatoes turn soft and release their juice.
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt and water. Mix well and simmer on low flame for 8 minutes until the gravy thickens and the oil shows at the sides.
Add coriander leaves and cook on low flame for 1 minute until the leaves wilt. Turn off the flame.
