2
Warm the oil, add cumin and a pinch of asafoetida, then the onions — cook till bronzed at the edges.
3
Stir in ginger garlic paste and green chili; after a minute add the ground spices with a splash of water so they don't scorch.

5
Kill the heat, stir through the cilantro and the panch phoron, and rest five minutes before serving.

Chef's tip
