Coming to the recipe, this is a sidedish for idlies and dosas, using onion as the core ingredient. I measured the amount of onion and tomato to be added using the measuring cups, because adding more tomato will ruin the original flavor in this dish.

Ingredients
2 1/4 cup onion ,cut into thin long slices

Method
1.In a presssure cooker/pressure pan, add oil and once it is hot, add the onion, turmeric powder and curry leaves. Saute until the onion turns translucent.
2.Now add the 1/4 tsp saunf( I love saunf, so added 1/2 tsp) once it splutters, add chopped tomato and saute until it turns mushy. Add the ground paste and saute for 2 minutes or so until the paste gets well combined with the onion and tomato
3. Add about 1 1/2 cups to 1 3/4 cup of water, salt. Close the pressure cooker lid. Put the weight on and allow 2 whistle sounds.
4.Once the pressure in the cooker is gone, remove the lid and add the crsuhed potato and stir.
