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

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Finely chop the tomatoes and add them to the saucepan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and start to break down.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste, ground turmeric, ground coriander, and ground cumin. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the spices' aroma.

Step 5

Add the cinnamon stick and water to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

Season with salt, black pepper, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.

Step 9

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the sauce just before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm alongside rice dishes, grilled meats, or as a flavorful dip.
