In a pressure cooker, heat oil or ghee over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add chopped onion, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chilies. Saute until the onions turn golden brown.

Add chopped tomatoes, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook until the tomatoes turn mushy.
