Method
1.Heat oil in a pot on medium heat. Fry mustard seeds until they begin to splutter. Add cumin seeds and fry until the seeds begin to sizzle.
2.Sauté onion until light golden brown. Add crushed garlic and stir for a second or two.
3.Add red chilli, turmeric, ground cumin and ground coriander. Heat the spices through for a few seconds, taking care not to burn the spices.
4.Stir in the chopped tomatoes and reduce the heat. Stir until a thick paste forms. Add salt. The tomatoes should break down completely. Add cream if using.
