• Next, add 2 finely chopped onions and 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste. Saut this mix until the onions turn beautifully golden and caramelized.
• Now, sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, ¾ tablespoon chilli powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Keep stirring on low heat until the spices turn aromatic.
• Chop up 2 juicy tomatoes and add them to the mix. Saut until the oil begins to separate from the masala, creating a rich, flavorful base. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon curd and keep cooking until the oil separates again, ensuring the masala is next-level tasty.
• Gradually add ¼ cup of hot water in three batches, letting it cook down each time until the oil separates. This slow process makes the masala perfectly cooked and silky.
• In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee and stir fry 1/2 a capsicum and 1/2 an onion on high flame for a quick crunch.
