Beef Masala Curry

▢
Turn the pressure cooker into sauté mode. If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can use a pan with a lid. Add oil, chopped onions, garlic, spices, salt and pepper. Cook until onions become soft and golden, for about 3 minutes. Then stir in the tomato sauce, brown sugar and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture into the food processor and blend all into a paste. Set aside.
