The method
Step by step
- 1
Heat the vegetable oil (or ghee) in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
About 1 min

- 2
Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
About 1 min

Stir in the yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- 4
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- 5
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder, cooking for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
About 1 min
