This is a very simple curry. It goes well with plain rice, rotis and kichidi. This is one more 'jhatpat' recipe, which take very less preparation time.


Ingredients:
1.)Tomatoes - 4( chopped)
2.)green chillies - 4(slit lengthwise)
3.)onions - 1 medium(chopped)
4.)mustard seeds - 1tsp
5.)cumin seeds - 1tsp
6.)Urad dal /minnapappu - 2 tsps
7.)red chili powder - 1/2 to 1 tsp
8.)turmeric - pinch
9.)coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
10.)oil - 1tbsp
11.)curry leaves - 5
12.)salt - to taste

Procedure:
Take oil in a pan, when it hot add mustard, cumin, urad dal. When they start spluttering add the curry leaves, onions and green chillies. Fry till the onions are translucent. Now add turmeric powder and ginger garlic pates and fry till the raw flavor is gone. Now add tomatoes and cook them. when they are almost done add salt, chili powder(add chili powder to taste.Some tomatoes are more sour compared to other, hence will need more chili powder to get rid of sour flavor.) and coriander powder and mix well. Cook for another 5 to 10 mins and tomato curry is ready to be served.
