Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to blend well.
Pour in 2 cups of water and add salt according to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Let the curry simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Just before serving, add sev to the curry and mix well. Allow it to soak up the flavors for a minute.
