Fry the onion to deep gold, then the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell lifts.
- 4
Tip in the powdered spices and tomatoes; bhunao until the oil separates at the edges.
- 5
Simmer the green mango until it collapses into the gravy — the sourness should make you pause, not pucker.

Season, reduce to the consistency you like, and finish with cilantro.
Chef's tip
Bhunao patiently — the moment the oil separates is when the real flavour begins.
