  • Cumin seeds — ½ tsp
  • Fresh ginger — 1 tsp grated
  • Asafoetida — 1 small pinch use a blend without onion or wheat; gluten-free if strict

  • Add the grated ginger and the pinch of asafoetida. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the tomato, turmeric, coriander powder, chili and salt. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until soft and the oil just separates at the edges.
