Chop the onions and add to the same pan. Continue to cook for 5 munutes, until the onion is light brown and soft, then add the chilli powder and turmeric. Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan too. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add 1 or 2 wineglasses of water and the coconut milk. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it has the consistency of double cream, then season carefully with salt.
