Рецепт Spicy garlic curry

by Divya Pramil

1. All the above dry roasted ingredients

• 2. Garlic pods - 5
• 3. Shallots / Pearl onions - 5
• 4. Tomato - 1/2 of a tomato (Optional)
• Then heat a saucepan/pot and add 10 spoons of oil to it. (I added more, only then it will taste good)

Now after it heats add 1 spoon of mustard seeds and let it splutter.

Then add curry leaves, shallots, and 2 dry red chillies and saute.

Now add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes.

The add the masala paste and stir well, then add coconut paste, red chilli powder, coriander powder, tamarind juice and stir well.

Add water to adjust the consistency of the gravy.

Let the gravy boil for a while and when oil separates form the gravy and garlic gets cooked well and soft, temper the gravy.

For tempering add 5 spoons of oil in a pan and heat it, after it heats up add, asafoetida, 1/2 spoon of mustard seeds, and few curry leaves and saute for a minute.

Then add this tempering mixture into the gravy and stir well, remove from flame.

Serve!!

TIP 1: You can add more shallots (small onions) if you wish it will enhance the taste and flavor. Add them whole do not chop them.

TIP 2: You can also add some chopped shallots while tempering the gravy.

TIP 3: If you add too much of fenugreek seeds and mustard seeds, the gravy will taste bitter.
