  • 2 Tbsp plus 2 tsp vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 medium red onion, finely diced
  • 1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and grated

  5. Reduce heat to medium low and add tomatoes, fresh chilies, garam masala, coriander, red chili powder, and salt to sauté pan. Simmer for 12 minutes. Add boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, until all ingredients pull together and tomatoes break down. Add cilantro and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  6. Transfer mixture to bowl of food processor or a blender or place an immersion blender in the sauté pan. Process until smooth.
