Notes

1. I didn't add ginger garlic paste, if you want you can add after onions turns pink ,  fry them well without getting burnt. Fry till the raw smell of the ginger garlic paste goes off, add tomatoes after that
2. As I don't have coriander leaves i didn't add it, you can add it once you switch off the flame
