1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 fresh curry leaves
1 piece (2 inches) peeled fresh ginger, julienned
2 garlic cloves, minced

3 canned whole plum tomatoes, crushed

Steps:

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds. Cook, shaking pan often, until seeds are fragrant and begin to pop, about 30 seconds. Add turmeric, curry leaves, ginger, garlic, and chile; cook, stirring, 1 minute.
