Procedure:

  1. Chop onion and tomato finely and keep aside separately.

  3. Heat oil in a saucepan.
  4. Add fennel seeds, clove, and cinnamon and wait for it to crackle.
  5. Add onion and saute till it becomes translucent. Add a little salt to speed up cooking. Should take 3-5 mins.
  6. Add ginger, garlic paste and saute till raw smell goes. Should take 1-2 mins.
  7. Add red chili and turmeric powder. Mix well, then add 2 tbsp of water to prevent powder from burning. Saute well till oil starts to separate.
  8. Add tomato and cook till it becomes mushy and oil starts to seep out.
