You could just use a curry powder if you want. Proportion to taste. I used a curry powder (big pile on white cutting board) in the below photo along with some other spices. I did use a measuring spoon because it makes cool little piles)
4. Heat ghee or oil in a pot then saute the onion until brown over medium high heat
