Ingredients:
| Oil , for authenticity I use Coconut oil | 3 Tbsp | |
| Mustard seeds | ¹⁄8 tsp | |
| Curry leaves | 2 Tbsp | |
| Red Onion, sliced | 1 large | |
| Ripe Tomatoes, chopped | 2 large | |
| Small, hot Green chilli ; left whole | 1 -2 | |
| Turmeric powder | ¼ tsp | |
| Kashmiri chilli powder | 1 tsp | |
| Coriander powder | 1 tsp | |
| Coconut milk (medium thick consistency) | 1 ½ cups | |
| Salt (about ½ tsp) | To Taste | |
| Coriander leaves, finely chopped | 1 Tbsp |
Method:
- Heat the oil in a wok / Kadai.
- Add the mustard seeds and allow to splutter.
- As soon as the mustard seeds have stopped popping, add the curry leaves, followed by the onion and green chilli.
- Saute on med-high flame, stirring till the onions are softened and just changing colour.
- Now, add the tomatoes and continue to cook down on, stirring on medium-high heat till the tomatoes are mushy and reduced to a thickened saucy texture. (TIP: We keep it on a higher flame for the aromas to intensify, you will notice it develops a toasty, smoky aroma. If cooking on low heat, you lose out on this.)
- Reduce the heat now and add the spice powders ( turmeric, chilli and coriander). Stir and cook till aromatic ( without burning).
- Beat the coconut milk once and stir into the curry. Also, add salt.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle over the finely chopped fresh coriander. Tasty AND SIMPLE Tomato Curry is ready!
Tomato Curry
Notes:
- Coconut milk should be at room temperature for best results.
- The coconut milk should not be too thin nor should you use extra-thick coconut cream. Stir briskly and continuously after adding the coconut milk and keep the flame on medium.
- Add the coconut milk ONLY after you get the nice aroma of the cooked spices.
- This curry reheats perfectly in the Microwave. Microwave for 30 seconds- 1 minute.
