Coriander leaves and curry leaves – to garnish

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pan, add 1 tsp of mustard seeds allow it to splatter.

2. Add the onions and curry leaves and let onion fry for about 2- 4 minutes until they are pale pink.

3. Then add the tomatoes and the grounded coconut paste along with little water.

4. Let the paste cook for about 10 minutes in low flame, add 1 tsp of turmeric powder and add salt.

5. Cook until oil suspends on top of the gravy.
