- When the spices become fragrant, add ginger garlic green chilli paste. Saute until fragrant.
- Add tomato puree. Mix well with the seasoned butter. Cover and let it cook on medium heat until it leaves fat. Stir in between to prevent any sticking at the bottom of the pan. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Now add salt to season, sugar to balance the tartness of the tomatoes, kasuri methi, red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, garam masala and tandoori masala. Saute it on medium heat for another minute.
