3 tablespoons canola oil -- (to 5 tablespoons) or more as needed
1 medium yellow onion -- halved and cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
1 tablespoon ginger paste
2 tablespoons finely grated garlic
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 medium tomato -- coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cardamom

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil

until golden, adding oil as necessary. Drain the fat from the pan and add
the ginger and garlic; cook for 30 seconds. Add the turmeric, cayenne

minutes, until the oil starts to separate and bubble around the edges.
Remove from the heat and add the salt, garam masala, cardamom and mace.

To make your own garam marsala:
To make your own garam masala, combine 1 tablespoon each of ground
coriander, ground cumin, ground black pepper, ground cayenne pepper,
ground fennel seeds and ground ginger and ground cardamom. Add 1 teaspoon
each ground cloves and grated nutmeg. (May cover and keep at room
temperature for up to 1 month.)

AuthorNote: This base for Vegetable Biryani can be prepared several days
in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container. It would also work
well as a flavor base added to [favorites] dishes.
ChupaNote: I upped the fiber by adding: red bell pepper, celery, and
carrots, all minced, with the tomato.
