Add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few more minutes.
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and cook until tomatoes become mushy. Do not add water. If it is too dry, add just 1 or 2 tbsp of water. Add salt required and allow it to cool.
When it cool down properly, blend it to a fine paste.
Now heat oil in a kadai again, add shah jeera, when it splutters, add the ground paste and cook for a few minutes.
