Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh ripe tomatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 Green chili
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Chop them into medium-sized pieces and set aside.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the ginger and garlic cloves. Slice the green chili thinly.
Heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds or until they are aromatic.
Add chopped onions to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and translucent.
Add the minced ginger, garlic, and green chili. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the raw smell of the garlic disappears.
Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Cook for another minute to blend the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the spice mixture and season with salt. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pan and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and become soft.
Add water to the pan and stir to combine everything into a sauce-like consistency. Adjust the thickness by adding more water if necessary.
Reduce the heat and allow the curry to simmer gently for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the garam masala and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
