Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a pan at medium heat. Splutter mustard seeds and fry dry red chilly. Add onion, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves, little salt and saute until onion starts changing color. Bring down the heat to low and add turmeric powder, chili powder and coriander powder,if using. Saute until their raw smell is gone. Add the tomato slices. Mix well. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Open the lid, add tomato sauce, 3 tbsp water and cook for a few minutes. (One or two pinches of sugar can be added for an extra taste). The tomato slices shouldn’t get mashed up.
