Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 medium onion (finely diced)
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/ tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 3/4 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp mango powder (aamchoor) (optional but highly recommended)
- 1 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 2 whole green chillies
- 1 tsp tomato puree

Instructions
- 1
Preheat a pan over a high heat and add the oil. Allow to oil to warm up.
- 2
Add the finely diced onion. Sauté this over a high heat, stirring often, until the onions become translucent and limp - about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add in the minced garlic, all the spices (chilli flakes, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander powder, mango powder, salt) and the green chillies. Mix through, then add the tomato purée. Continue to sauté this for 5 minutes. We don't want to onions to darken much - this recipe works better when the onions are lighter and are caramelised. You may need to turn the heat down to a medium flame if you find the onions are browning too much.
