  • For variation, you may add chopped onion. Add it as soon as the mustard and cumin seeds stop spluttering. Fry till onions are transparent and then add the chopped green tomatoes.
  • You may add chopped garlic or garlic paste.
  • You may add chopped ginger or ginger paste. Instead of or along with roasted sesame seed powder, add roasted and powdered ground nuts (peanuts). That tastes great too.
