Blend until you get a coarse paste. You can blend further to a smooth paste if you want a smoother curry.
Heat oil in a saute pan or wok. Saute the blended onion paste in oil on medium flame for 10 minutes. The paste would brown slightly, giving a nice aroma!
Blend the tomatoes to make a smooth puree. Add the tomato puree to the sauteed browned onion ginger garlic mixture.
Add chilli powder, Kashmiri chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric and salt to the onion tomato mixture. Kashmiri chilli powder gives the red color to the curry paste.
Saute the onion tomato paste with all the spices until well browned and the whole paste comes together. Turn off when the paste starts releasing oil.
