7 tablespoons (100ml) neutral oil such as vegetable or sunflower oil

1 medium yellow or red onion (8 ounces; 227g), cut into 1-inch chunks

2 plum tomatoes (8 ounces; 227g total), cut into 1-inch chunks

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

1 tablespoon chana dal (split desi chickpeas)

1 tablespoon moong dal (split mung/moong beans)

One 14-ounce (397g) can whole peeled tomatoes, pureed in a food processor

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

Cooked basmati rice and/or flaky flatbreads such as paratha , for serving

In a large skillet, sauté pan, or wok, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and plum tomato chunks, season with salt, and cook just until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a plate, leaving the oil behind in the pan.

Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook until they begin to fry and sizzle in the oil. Add 7 tablespoons (100ml) water along with the chana dal, moong dal, then bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Add pureed tomatoes, return to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, and cook gently for 15 minutes to develop the flavor of the curry.

Stir in garam masala, cumin, sugar, and turmeric. Return the onion and tomato chunks to the pan and cook until sauce is thickened and coats vegetables, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and serve with rice and/or flaky flatbreads.
