The method

Step by step

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
About 1 min
2
Add the sliced yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Cook the onions slowly to develop their sweetness without browning them too much.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and curry powder, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Toasting the spices briefly helps to release their aromatic oils.
4
Pour in the canned whole peeled tomatoes with all their juice. Use a spoon to gently break up the tomatoes in the pan.
About 1 min
5
Season with salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
About 2 min
6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: Stir occasionally to prevent the bottom from sticking.
7
Serve the curried tomatoes hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Cook’s note: This dish is excellent over basmati rice, with naan bread, or alongside grilled chicken or fish.
