  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp turmeric

  • 1 tsp garlic paste

  • 1 tsp ginger paste

  • 3 tbsp cooking oil

  • Whole garam masala: 1 bay leaf, 2 small cinnamon sticks, 7-8 peppercorns, 5 cloves, 5 cardamoms

  • ¾ cup onion paste

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1 tsp garlic paste (additional)

  • 1 tsp ginger paste (additional)

  • ½ tsp salt (additional)

  • 1½ tsp coriander
