Making ingress available at <nodeinternalip>/<serviceendpoint> in kubernetes cluster - nginx

Question

I have 2 node cluster with 1 worker node. I have setup ingress controller as per documentation and then created Deployment, service ( nodeport ) and ingress object. My goal is to make the service accessible using curl -s INTERNAL_IP/Serviceendpoint. What configurations are required to make this happen. This works great on minikube but not on the cluster.
Note - service works fine and shows nginx page when accessed using <INTERNALIP>:NODEPORT
Here is sample service and Ingress object definition -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
