Instructions
 

  • Warm a large cooking pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger and peppers. Cook these for 2 minutes before adding the cumin and fennel seeds. After 30 seconds of toasting the seeds add the tomato and tomato puree.

  • Serve with rice and extra cilantro if you like the taste.
