• 250 gm.   tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tsp.  cumin seeds
• 1 tbsp.   ginger garlic paste
• 6 - 8 whole black pepper

• 1 tbsp.  salt, or according to taste
• 1/2 tsp.   garam masala powder 
• 2 -3 green chillies

Method :

• Wash arvi and let them dry. Then peel the skin with a knife and make lengthwise slits halfway through arvis. Place in a bowl of water and set aside.
• Heat oil in a pan, add onions and fry until golden brown.
• Remove from oil and put in a blender with tomatoes and cumin seeds. Blend to a fine paste ( add little water, if needed ).
• Add ginger garlic paste, black pepper, cloves, cardamom and cinnamon stick to the oil; stir-fry for a minute.
• Add coriander powder, chillies powder, turmeric and salt along with the blended paste of onion and tomatoes.
• Add 1 cup water, cover and cook over medium heat until the water dries out and the oil begins to separate.
• Add arvi and enough water ( depending on how thick or thin you want the curry ); cover and cook over medium heat until arvi becomes tender ( not mushy ) and the required curry / gravy is left.
• Add garam masala,  green chillies and coriander leaves to the curry. Cook on very low heat for 3 - 4 minutes until the oil comes to the top.
• Serve hot with Chapati / Roti, Naan or Paratha.
