Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 medium-sized Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Finely chop the tomatoes and add them to the saucepan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and start to break down.
Stir in the tomato paste, ground turmeric, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aroma.
Add the cinnamon stick and water to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the sauce just before serving.
Serve warm alongside rice dishes, grilled meats, or as a flavorful dip.
