Method

1. 1Prepare the Onion: Peel, then slice or dice. Cook slowly until golden for the deepest flavour.

5. 5Add the Onion and stir for 2 minutes.
6. 6Pour in 2 cups of hot water, bring to a boil, then simmer covered until the vegetable is tender and the gravy has body.
7. 7Check the salt, add 1/2 tsp garam masala and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
