Ingredients

  • 250 grams ripe tomatoes ((2 to 3 tomatoes, ½ pound, refer notes))
  • 2 to 3 small garlic ( (5 grams))
  • ⅓ inch ginger ((3 grams peeled ginger, optional, for flavor))
  • 3 to 4 dried red chilies ( (5 grams, or ½ to ¾ teaspoon red chilli powder))
  • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon salt ( (adjust to taste))
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 to 1¼ tablespoons oil ( (divided ½ + ½ to ¾ to temper))
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • ⅛ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 dried red chilli ( broken)
  • 1 to 2 small garlic cloves ( (crushed))
  • ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder ( (optional, adjust to taste))
  • 1 pinch hing ( (asafetida, optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the tomatoes well under running water and slice them.

  2. 2

    Heat oil and add cumin seeds. When the seeds splutter, add dried red chilies and fry them on a medium heat until crisp.

  3. 3

    Stir in the ginger (optional) and garlic. Fry them until they turn aromatic for about 1 minutes or a little longer. Don’t burn the ginger and garlic.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced tomatoes, salt and turmeric. On a medium high heat cook until the tomatoes turn completely mushy. Keep stirring in between to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Turn off the stove when most of the juices have evaporated and the tomatoes develop a nice flavour.

  6. 6

    Cool this completely and add to a grinder and blend to a smooth puree. Taste test and adjust salt as required.
