Heat the oil in a pot and fry the sliced onion until golden brown, about 8 minutes, then add the ginger garlic paste and cook 1 minute.

Add the chopped tomato with the turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder and cumin and bhunno 8 minutes until the tomato collapses and the oil rises to the surface.
