Preparation
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan, once hot add the diced onion, garlic + green chillies and 1 tsp salt. Allow the onion and garlic to develop some colour before adding the spices
Next add 1 tsp curry powder, 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp turmeric + 1/2 tsp chilli powder to the onions. Saute for a few mins and add a splash of water to prevent the spices burning

Lastly add 1.5 cup of water (use less or more depending on what consistency you prefer). Bring to a boil and boil for 5 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat, garnish with coriander and serve as desired
