Direction:

  1. Chop the tomatoes roughly in large chunks ....no need to fine chop. 
  2. Break the whole dry red chillies in two three pieces and keep aside.
  3. Heat the oil and throw in all the seeds and the broken red chillies ... wait till they get aromatic and turn brownish ( take care not to burn them ) 
  4. Add the chopped ginger , wait till they sweat and add the chopped tomatoes at once.
  5. Add water ( about 500-600 ml ) and salt and cook covered for 8-10 minutes . The tomatoes should get mushy .
