2. Add the garlic, ginger and chillies and give the pan a good mix. 

3. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then add the onions. Stir well. 

4. Let the onions cook for about 8 minutes, softening but overcooked. Add the turmeric, chilli powder and salt to taste. Give the pan a thorough mix. 

5. After a further few minutes of letting the spices mix through, add the tomatoes and stir well.
