Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until soft and golden brown.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Mix in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
