2 medium sized tomatoes, cut into big cubes

1 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp chilli powder

2 1/2 tbsp sugar

Heat oil to smoking point & add cumin seeds. Cumin seeds when added to hot oil turn to a dark brown color immediately. This releases its flavour instantly. Add all the spices, tomatoes, salt & sugar. Mix & cook on high flame until the tomatoes are slightly tender(approximately 3 to 4 min.) .Do not over cook else the curry may turn into a sauce. Serve hot with chapati.
