Then add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, curry leaves and let it chitapata for few seconds (Telugu translation: Yendu mirapa kaya, minappappu, sanagappu first veyinchi, tharuvatha, aavalu, jeelakarra veyali)
• Add the green chillies and fry little
• Add the chopped onions and fry till golden brown over medium flame
