This step is where our cooking start, pour a little quantity of vegetable oil in your pot and leave it to hot for a minute tyen pour your onions into it, allow it to fry for some minutes under low it, observe it till it begin to turn brownish in color, after that pour in your tomato paste and fry ubder low heat as well, leave it to fry very well to avoid raw taste and soggy food.
