Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the yellow curry powder, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and chili powder to the saucepan. Stir continuously for 30 seconds to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
