Step 1

Peel and roughly chop the onions and garlic cloves. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the diced tomatoes, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Pour in 1/4 cup water to prevent sticking, and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes have softened.

Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add lemon juice and blend until smooth.
