2 to 3 cups mixed baby lettuce, mesclun, or other mixed greens
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, minced with seeds
2 tablespoons minced fresh curry leaves
1/8 teaspoon ground asafoetida
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 pounds firm vine-ripened tomatoes of mixed colors, coarsely chopped
5 to 7 cherry or pear shaped tomatoes of mixed colors

1. Line a serving platter with the lettuce. Keeping a large nonstick wok or saucepan tilted to one side, heat the oil and add the cumin and mustard seed they should sizzle immediately upon contact with the hot oil. Lay the pan flat, and quickly add the green chili pepper, curry leaves, asafoetida and lemon juice and cook 1 minute.

2. Add the tomatoes and stir gently until heated through, but still firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the lettuce-lined platter and serve.
