Instructions
- 1
Heat the oil or ghee in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until they sizzle and darken by one shade, about 30 seconds — watch closely, as they can burn quickly.
- 2
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden at the edges, 8–10 minutes.
