Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a separate pan. Add the sliced onions and capsicum and sauté until they are soft and translucent. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute. Add the soy sauce, tomato ketchup, and red chili sauce and mix well. Add a little water if the mixture is too thick. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens.
