Sounds very good, and I'm definitely going to try this. Just a couple of questions before that. 1) I was unclear about what you meant by "1 tomato grated" and 2) When you say "fry till ghee separates," what exactly am I looking for? Thank you.

@Rohin: Tomato grated means cut tomato in small peices. Also, you can make out that the ghee has separated when the masala starts leaving the vessel. You can stir the dish and check that the masala doesnt stick to the vessel..
