  • When the mustard seeds are finished popping turn down the heat a little.
  • Add the cumin seeds, curry leaves, ginger, turmeric and coriander.
  • Stir one time so all spices are heated in the ghī or sesame oil.

  • Cover the pot partly with a lid and let the content simmer until the vegetables are done.
  • Put the heat low and add the salt.
