   Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. If using mustard oil, heat it well until it's really hot and then lower the heat before adding cumin seeds .

   oil: 2 tbsp, cumin seeds: 1/2 tsp

   Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds, then add garlic . Saute for a few seconds until the garlic starts to change color.
