Bhuna Masala

Basic masala paste which I generally use as a base for my day to day curries. I generally prepare this paste  when I am cooking something else and I have time and use it later on whenever I am pressed for time and still want to eat home cooked meal. When you want to use it you can combine it with ginger or garlic or any other herb or flavour according to the dish you are using it in.



Onion250g
Vegetable Oil 5 tbsp
Tomatoes 300 g
Salt 2tsp
Red Chilli powder 2 tsp
Turmeric 2 tsp

Pour  cooking oil in the pan and add onion paste in to it.
Leave it to simmer on the stove keep stirring in between when starts leaving the edge of the pan add pureed tomatoes to it and let the paste cook for 10-15 minutes more on slowest heat setting.
Take it out of pan let it cool and store in refrigerator and use it later.
Quantities  mentioned here yield bhuna masala for my family of four.
