- Now add the chopped onion and sauté on medium-high for about 10 minutes till the onions are golden brown.
- Then add the turmeric powder, chili powder and salt. Sauté for 2 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool for five minutes. Then blend with an immersion blender until you get a smooth paste.
