Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the peeled onion into quarters, and place in a food processor or blender along with the piece of ginger (about 2 cm) and the peeled garlic cloves. Process well until it becomes watery due to the onion.

  2. 2

    Pour it into a pot with two tablespoons of oil (I used canola oil because it gives a sweet floral touch) and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

    In a bowl, pour the canned crushed or diced tomatoes, and season to taste. Depending on your palate, use about half a teaspoon of the peppers, 1 heaping tablespoon of curry and cumin, and half a teaspoon of the other spices. Add a little salt, about a teaspoon.
