Prep While Steaming

  • While the potatoes steam, chop the onion, mince the garlic, grate the ginger, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Measure out the spices and remaining ingredients.
    1 onion, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon curry powder, 20 oz cherry tomatoes, sliced in half, 2 teaspoons honey, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Sauté the Aromatics

  • Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and a splash of water. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until the onions are translucent, adding more water as needed to prevent sticking.

Add Tomatoes & Spices

  • Add the garam masala, curry powder, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Cook uncovered for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft. Add water as needed to prevent sticking.

Stir in Honey & Salt

  • Mix in the honey and sea salt until well combined.

Combine & Serve
