Step 1

Heat up a little oil, and add chopped onions and salt.

Step 2

Mix well, and saute on medium high heat till the onions turn light (or deeper) golden brown. This might take 10-20 minutes, depending on the pan you are using. Use a wide bottomed pan for browning onions faster.

Step 3

When the onions are browned, add in the chopped tomatoes, and roast for 5-10 minutes till they get cooked, and turn softy and mushy.

Step 4

That's it. That's the base recipe for making onion tomato masala. However, you can make modifications and adjustments to this base recipe, as shared below.

Step 5

Ginger & Garlic - If you choose to add ginger & garlic, then roast them first in oil, before adding onions. For 4 cups of chopped onion, use 2 tbsp of chopped ginger and 2 tbsp of chopped garlic.

Step 6

Indian Spices - If you choose to add basic Indian spice powders to this, then add them after you've roasted the onions, and before the tomatoes. You can add a few spoons of water to ensure the masalas don't burn. For 4 cups of chopped onion, use 2 tsp garam masala powder, 2 tsp coriander powder, 1-2 tsp chilli powder, and 1 tsp cumin powder.
