Instructions
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

- Tip in ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, red chili powder and black pepper powder. Stir to combine. Cook for a couple of minutes to toast them a bit.
- Add tomato paste. Fry, stirring, for 1 minute. (If using fresh tomatoes, fry them until mushy). Add water, sugar and vinegar. Stir to combine.
