¼ cup cooking oil
2 onions, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger
2 Tbsp. ground coriander
¼ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cayenne

1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring for 2 minutes.

2. Add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, and turmeric and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
