• 1 small onion, diced

• 3 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tsp garam masala

• 4 tsp curry powder

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, chopped small

2. Build the flavor: Stir in the garam masala, curry powder, garlic, and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma.
