- 1 large onion, finely chopped

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 inch piece of ginger, grated

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1-2 tablespoons curry powder (adjust based on your preference for spiciness)

- 1 teaspoon garam masala

- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base:

- Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

6. Garnish and Serve:
