Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 14 ounces crushed tomatoes tinned
  • 2 coconut oil
  • 1 ⁄2 lemon juice
  • 1 organic lemon zest
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon ground

  • Place all the spices into a bowl. Warm up a large skillet and roast the spices in the dry skillet to medium heat. When the spices darken and expel their aroma, put them aside back in the bowl.
  • Put the skillet back on the heat, add in the oil and cook the onion on medium heat until it becomes translucent. Then combine the garlic and ginger mixing for a minute or two followed by the spices and the tomatoes.
  • Add a cup of water adding the salt and cardamom seeds, the grated lemon zest together with the juice and leave to simmer, lowering the heat.
  • Blend the sauce, if you love a nice smooth sauce.
