Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Ground Masala

   Dry fry the dry coconut, cinnamon, cloves, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and cardamom in an empty pan without oil until fragrant. Transfer to a mixer grinder and grind into a fine powder.

2. 2.Sauté Aromatics

   Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. Then, add 1 cup of grinded onion paste and sauté well until it turns golden brown and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

   To the sautéed aromatics, add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and mix well. Next, add 2 tablespoons of chilli powder and mix thoroughly. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and combine.
