  2. Fry and grind fenugreek in to fine powder
COOKING:
  1. In a nonstick pan, pour oil, add mustard & wait till mustard crackles, do this in medium flame to avoid burning. Add hing, red chili , red chili powder, turmeric and salt ( these can be added after pouring the ground tomato ) immediately add ground tomato.
  2. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt if required ( Always put little less salt as it can be added at the end also.). Allow this to boil for about 30, till the oil separates from the mixture and no moisture remains. At this stage, oil would be completely oozed out of the mixture.
  3. Adding fenugreek powder and Jaggery is optional.I never tried it, but if u know the taste you can go ahead and add.
