Heat another tbsp of oil in a same pan and add cumin seeds. When it starts to sizzle,add onion paste. Keep stirring at medium heat till onion paste turns light brown in colour.
Make sure that you continously stir the paste and it doesn’t stick to the pan.Now add kasuri methi and sugar and stir for another minute.
Add tomato paste and stir well. Simmer the heat and let it cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring in between to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pan.
