– Add 2-3 tbsp oil to a large pan and heat. Add cumin seeds and onion and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

– Add the ginger, garlic and let sizzle for another minute.

– Add the tomatoes, and 100ml of boiled water. Stir through, cover and cook on low heat for another 10 minutes.

– Add salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder, garam masala, and fenugreek leaves, and mix through.

– Turn the heat off and add 100ml or room temperature water. Add the yoghurt whilst the heat is off.

You can then serve this with Onion Pilau, Plain Rice, or Chapatis.
