  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tsp mustard powder
  • 1-2 tbsp gram flour or 2-4 tsp cornstarch (adjust for desired thickness)
  • 1 cup water

Directions:

  • Blend garlic, tomatoes, onion, mustard powder, and gram flour into a fine puree.
  • Add the puree to the vegetables and mix well.
  • Stir in chopped cilantro and cook for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add garam masala and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with naan, rice, or quinoa.
