Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Tomato paste (unsweetened, no added sugar)
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (or butter)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
- 120 ml Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook the spices for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the tomato paste, stirring well to combine with the spices.
Pour in the water and heavy cream, stirring until smooth and well blended.
Add the salt, lemon juice, and erythritol. Stir to incorporate.
Simmer the sauce on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of water to reach the desired consistency.
Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, if desired.
