Chef's Notes
Do not rush the onion sauteing stage; building a proper golden-brown base is the secret handshake of elite Indian cooking.
Pro Tip
Crushing the whole spices slightly before tossing them into the oil releases their essential oils much faster.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Getting distracted by your phone while heating the ghee for the final tempering and accidentally turning your spices into pure charcoal, forcing you to throw out the entire topping.
