Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 chopped tomatoes and 1 tsp garam masala. Cook, stirring, until tomatoes break down and mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
