Once the oil is slightly hot, add 1 tablespoon of ginger paste and chopped onions.

Sauté the onions and ginger for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 1-1.5 minutes until they are soft.

Season with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), black pepper (1/2 teaspoon), coriander powder (1/2 teaspoon), and Kashmiri red chili powder (1/2 teaspoon).

Cook the spices for about 3 minutes until well combined.

Add the chow mein noodles to the kadhai and mix everything well for about 2 minutes until the noodles are fully incorporated with the spices.

Turn off the gas and serve the chow mein hot.
