Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are aromatic.
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensure the spices don't burn by keeping the heat moderate.

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.
