Pan heated/or at this stage itself, you can heat a pressure pan and do  too....  .Heat ghee, season hing powder, jeera and grated ginger

Then add the grated tomatoes

Flames on the lowest, can be covered with a lid, and patiently simmer the tomatoes till ghee oozes out, and tomatoes also shrink down in volume
