5. Add the ground spices to this and a little water. Grind together to make the masala paste.
6. Heat oil in a pan and add the asafoetida, mustard seeds, Broken red chillies and curry leaves.

Note: If you like you can do the tempering in the end when the curry is ready. I do iit in the beginning to avoid more oil.
