Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pan or kadai (wok).
Add the onion paste and sauté until it turns light golden.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté briefly.
Add the tomato-cashew paste and sauté until the masala becomes glossy.
Incorporate turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Mix well.
Add slit green chilies, water from the grinder jar, salt, and chopped coriander leaves.
