  • Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 inch piece, grated
  • Tomato - 1 medium, pureed
  • Coconut milk - 200 ml
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon

  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
  • Red chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Steps

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to splutter.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the pureed tomato and cook for 5-6 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
  5. Mix in coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 2 minutes to toast the spices.
