Add the Ginger Garlic paste. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes till the Onion becomes light brown.
Add crushed Tomatoes and salt. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Add Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder and Chilli Powder. Mix well, cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes in medium flame till the Oil separates from the masala. Stir in between.

If Clove Powder is not available, add 3 cloves while grinding Coconut and Cashew Nuts.
Make the gravy thick by reducing water quantity if to be served as a side dish with rice.
