Equipment

  • skillet
  • Medium saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely minced or grated or use paste
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced or crushed

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet or medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, butter, and onions and cook onions down until lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and let cook for 30 seconds, stirring so it doesn’t burn.

  • Add the heavy cream and simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring occasionally. Serve over Basmati rice or with naan.
