In the same pot, add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are aromatic.
Ca. 1 min.

Pour in the tomato puree and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
