- Add 1-2 seeded and finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference) and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until the onion begins to soften and turn golden brown.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon balti curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Fry for another minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

- Taste and season with salt to your preference. Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness.

- Serve hot with your favorite bread – toast, chapatis, naan, or pita bread are all excellent choices.
