In a dry heavy-bottomed pot, sauté the minced onions over medium heat without oil until they become translucent and slightly browned, adding a splash of water if they stick.

Add the vegetable oil and turmeric to the onions, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes to develop the flavor.

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Gradually whisk in the Shiro powder to the onion mixture, ensuring no large dry clumps remain.
- 5
Slowly pour in the water while whisking continuously to create a smooth, thin paste.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; lower the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the bottom from burning.

Add the salt and the sliced green chilies, allowing them to soften in the stew for the final 5 minutes.

The Shiro is ready when it has thickened to a creamy consistency and the oil begins to separate and rise to the top.
