Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the fresh green chilies under running water, then remove the stems and chop them finely. Peel and dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and finely chop the cilantro, setting it aside for garnish.
Cooking

Sauté the Base
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Next, add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook this mixture for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the mixture is somewhat thick.

Incorporate Green Chilies
Add the chopped green chilies to the pan, mixing well with the tomato mixture. Pour in the water and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chilies are tender.
