Add another tablespoon of mustard oil in the same pan, bring it to a smoking level, add in the sliced onions and fry until they are turned nice golden and brown.
Once cool, grind them into a smooth paste using a mixer grinder and keep aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of mustard oil in a pan, let it smoke, add in the cinnamon stick, green cardamom and cumin seeds.
Make a paste of the asafoetida, turmeric powder, coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder using little water and add it to the pan and cook until the oil separates.
Add in the ground onion paste, dry ginger powder, tamarind extract and mix well.
