Heat a pot and add some coconut oil.

3

4

Add 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste and sauté.

5

Add 5-6 crushed garlic cloves and some salt, then sauté until the onion is soft, without changing color.

6

Add a few curry leaves and sauté until soft.

7

In the meantime, prepare a spice paste in a mixer bowl with 4 small onions, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder, adding 1 tablespoon water to make a paste.
