Turn off the flame and then add the whipped yoghurt. Mix well.
Heat one tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan over a medium flame for tempering. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add fenugreek seeds and sauté for a few seconds. Add dried curry leaves and red chillies. Sauté for 3 to 4 seconds, then pour this tempering over the curry. Green tomato curry is ready to be served.
