Have to purée tomato for it to come together well.

Too much cornflour if making for one person. I think one can safely halve it. Rest of the seasonings should be as directed.
Added three handfuls of Costco frozen stir fry veggies. Worked well.
Also added chicken instead of tofu. Cut in thin strips horizontally and add after sautéing garlic and green chillies or before. Keep in pan throughout. Used chicken breast slices but it didn’t get rubbery or anything. Cooked fast too.
Ensure the soy sauce and red chilli sauce you use is desi (chings). Taste feels off if you use authentic Chinese/korean.

Potatoes won’t take as long to get tender. Add some water when leaving potatoes to cook in onion tomato masala as leaving them undisturbed with the lid on… they WILL burn

Pressure cooked after adding cooked lentils to tomato onion masala to ensure flavours combine. Added way less garlic when making the masala so added more garlic in the tempering.
