  • Addd the onion, ginger and garlic and saute till the onions have softened and start to change color.
  • Add the Thai green chillies, turmeric powder, cayenne, black pepper and salt and cook till the raw fragrance of the spice powders go away - this should take about 2 mins or so.
  • Now add the tomatoes and cook till they soften. Add the garam masala and cook again for a couple of minutes.
  • Add just about enough water, about 1/3 cup or so to loosen the consistency of the sauce a little.
