Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 Green chilies, chopped
• 5 medium Tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.

Step 4

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they become soft and the oil starts to separate, about 8 minutes.

Step 5

Mix in the ground coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and add salt. Stir to combine and let the curry simmer on a low heat for about 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Garnish the tomato curry with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with steamed rice or your choice of bread.
