For gravy
- take finely chopped onions in a pan with 1.5 cups water, cover and let cook till the unions turns transparent
- make puree with tomatoes, ginger and garlic and add to the cooked onions
- once all water dries up, add 1/2 cup water and cover and let it cook on low flame. the longer we cook this gravy, the more delicious it will turn out.
- when this water also dries up, add all spices and salts and 1/2 cup water
- mix it well and then add the mashed vegetable and mix again
- now cover and let it cook on low flame for 15-20 minutes and then turn off the stove and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- while serving add some lemon juice, vegan butter and finely chopped onions. serve with toasted pav (buns).
Notes
To make this super delicious, it is important that we cook the onion-tomato gravy for a long time by slowly adding some water when it dries up. This will ensure that there is no taste of "raw onions/tomato" in the final dish.
