- Allow them to cook together for four minutes before adding turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, fenugreek powder, red chili flakes, garam masala, and tomato puree.
- Stir well while cooking until all ingredients are mixed together but are careful not to let it burn.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Once done, taste the gravy. If needed, adjust spices to suit your preference.
