Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 Green chilies, chopped
- 5 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate, about 8 minutes.
Mix in the ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and add salt. Stir to combine and let the curry simmer on a low heat for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish the tomato curry with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
