Scale
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½1 teaspoon mild (or hot) cayenne pepper, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon aamchur (dried mango powder) – or use ketjep manis (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons canola or sunflower oil
  • 1 tablespoon ghee or butter (optional)
  • 1 cup, finely diced onion

Instructions

  1. Combine cumin, coriander, garam masala, cayenne pepper and aamchur in small bowl; set aside.
  2. Heat the oil, and ghee (if using) in a heavy based sauté pan; add onion and fry over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until softened and beginning to brown on the edges. Add the crushed garlic, ginger and chilies and stir together for a minute, until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and the spice mix to the pan and season with a little salt.
