Tomato sabji

Here is an easy to make tomato sabji that goes really well with hot chapattis and also with curd rice. Thanks to my uncle who gave me this recipe. I make this whenever I am too bored to cook elaborately.

Ingredients for 2 people:
About 5-6 tomatoes
2 chilles
Oil (about 2 tablespoons)
Chilli powder
Tumeric powder
Rasam powder
Mustard, Cumin seeds
Salt to taste
1 - 1 1/2 cups of water
and Corriander (for garnishing)

Directions:
Cut the tomatoes and the chillies into small pieces.
Heat the 2 tablespoon of oil in a wok.
When the oil is heated, add 1 spoon of mustard and allow them to splutter.
Add 1 spoon cumin seeds and the chilles.
When the cumin seeds turns brown, add the tomatoes and saute for 5-6 minutes.
Add 1/4 tea spoon of tumeric powder and 1/2 tea spoon of chilli powder.
Add about 1-1 1/2 spoons of rasam powder and salt to taste.
Add the water to this mixture.
Close the wok for sometime and allow all the ingredients to mix together and the tomatoes to soften.
After about 6-7 minutes, open the lid and allow any excess water to evaporate.
When the mixture has become semi-liquid, granish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot with chappatis.

Note: The amount of spices and chillies can be altered according to taste.
