4
Add the remaining chopped onions and sauté until translucent, followed by the ginger-garlic paste.

Stir in the Kolhapuri masala, red chili powder, and tomatoes, cooking until the oil begins to separate.

Add the ground coconut paste and cook the masala thoroughly for another 5 minutes.
7
Mix in the cooked moth beans along with their water, adjusting consistency with extra warm water to form the gravy.
