    When the meat is done, add ghee, reduce the heat to medium, add yellow onions and sprinkle on salt; sauté for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to dislodge any brown bits.

  • 8
    Add madras curry paste and tomato paste; stir well to coat.

    When time is up, add cornstarch mixture and stir until the curry thickens, about 45 to 60 seconds
  • 12
    Serve with rice, naan bread and garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced Fresno chiles and lime wedges.
