Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the 8 garlic cloves. Slit the 4 green chilies lengthwise. Keep the 6 dried red chilies whole.
Step 2
Heat the 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 tsp mustard seeds and cook until they splutter, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the 10 curry leaves and the dried red chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Add the sliced garlic and green chilies. Stir-fry over medium heat until the garlic turns golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Season with the 0.5 tsp salt and toss everything together for another minute. Remove from heat and serve hot as a side or over rice.
