 Heat the oil in a pan, temper with curry leaves and green chillies until they begin to shrink.     Most of the Indian curries, have to be treated this way.  It is sometime called seasoning.   

Sometimes, you can pour oil in a vessel, heat it, and then fry mustard seeds, onion slices, crushed garlic, and curry leaves.  When they are browned, add your masala powders and fry them and then add your base like fish, vegetable and fry in the same oil.   Add hot water and continue to cook till the masala is absorbed by the base ingredient.

In some recipes, you can also fry ginger garlic paste, and other ingredients for this purpose.    Some recipes have green minced masala of minced green chilles, garlic, ginger and onions.

Basically, this treatment is given to dishes of meat, fish, eggs and vegetables.   You may find it also in the recipes of Pickles.
