Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté, stirring, for about a minute. Then add the chopped onion, ginger, garlic, chili powder, and salt. Sauté, stirring, for about 6 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes into large pieces.
Step 3
When the onion softens, add the garam masala, coriander, and turmeric to the pan and mix. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
