Add 2 teaspoons of chili powder and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper to the onions.

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper powder, stirring to combine.

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin and mix well, without adding any water as the tomatoes will release their own moisture.

Cook for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens.

In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 cup of coconut milk powder in 1 to 1.5 cups of water.

Add 1 cup of yogurt to the mixture and stir well.

Incorporate 1/2 cup of gram flour (besan) and mix until smooth.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric and 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, stirring to combine.

Pour in 2 cups of water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously until it thickens.

Once the mixture boils, let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
