Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon dry mustard
8 tomatoes, diced
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, curry powder, and dry mustard in the hot oil until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
