Recipe
1
Heat oil or ghee in a pan over medium heat, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them splutter.
2
Add asafoetida, fresh curry leaves, and ginger-green chili paste, sautéing for a few seconds until fragrant.
3
Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander-cumin powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
4
Stir in the jaggery powder and water, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil to form a semi-thick gravy.

Turn off the heat, gently fold in the crispy sev just before serving so it retains a slight crunch.
