Tomato And Onion Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; fry the red chile peppers, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds in the hot oil until the seeds begin to splutter, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the asafoetida powder over the seeds and add the curry leaves. Stir the onions, green chile peppers, and turmeric powder into the mixture; cook and stir until the onions are softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red chili powder, sugar, and salt; continue cooking until the tomatoes are pulpy. Pour the water into the mixture; simmer until the curry begins to thicken, 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a bowl. Mix and set aside until tomatoes give off some liquid.
• Pour the oil into a wide, heavy pan and set on medium-high heat. When hot put in the asafetida, urad dal, and mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the red chilies and, a few seconds later, the curry leaves and onions. Stir and fry the onions for about 10 minutes or until they are translucent, turning the heat down if necessary so they do not brown. Add the garlic and ginger and stir a few times. Add the tomatoes and their liquid and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium and simmer vigorously for 35-40 minutes or until the sauce has thickened to a gloppy consistency. Check the salt. You might need to add up to 1/2 teaspoon more. Remove the whole chilies and serve hot or at room temperature, as preferred.
