  • 1 sprig fresh curry leaves

Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and pour in oil. Sauté sliced red chile peppers, cumin seeds, and mustard seeds in the hot oil until they start to pop and sizzle, approximately 2-3 minutes. Add a pinch of asafoetida powder to the mixture and stir in curry leaves. Combine chopped onions, green chile peppers, and turmeric powder with the existing ingredients, then cook until the onions are tender and fragrant, usually 3-5 minutes. Introduce canned or fresh tomatoes, red chili powder, sugar, and salt into the skillet; continue cooking until the tomatoes have broken down. Gradually add water to the mixture and let it simmer, allowing the curry to thicken, 5-10 minutes. Finish off the dish by garnishing it with chopped cilantro before serving.
