Steps:

• Apricots - Soak apricots in hot water for 20 minutes. Drain and chop the apricots. Set aside.Pro tip - we want the apricots to soften and become a paste when added to the curry. So, make sure to soak until thoroughly soft
• Onions - Pulse the onions in a food processor to a smooth paste - Set aside.
• Masala - To the same food processor - add all the masala ingredients and blend to a smooth paste
• Heat the ghee in a heavy bottom saucepan and fry the onions paste on medium-low. Next, add the ground masala and saute well for two more minutesPro tip - we need to masala to cook until it becomes fragrant. So, keep the heat to medium-low and add a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
