How to Make Green Tomatoes With Indian Spices

  1. Wash and quarter 1 lb of green tomatoes. If tomatoes are very large, halve the quarters again.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Cook until they start to crackle (about 30 seconds).
  4. Add the quartered green tomatoes and 2-3 green chilies (adjust to your spice preference), and fry for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Stir well, cover, and cook for approximately 6 minutes, or until tomatoes slightly soften.
  6. Uncover the pan, add 2 cloves of minced garlic, increase the heat to medium-high, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes. The oil will emulsify with the tomato juices, creating a richer sauce.
