Ingredients

• Yogurt (plain, preferably whole) - 150 grams
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 medium
• Tomato (chopped) - 1 medium
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green chili (slit) - 1
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
2. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle in the turmeric, red chili, cumin, and coriander powders, and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spices are well incorporated.
5. Lower the heat and add the yogurt slowly, stirring continuously to prevent it from curdling. Cook for another 5 minutes.
