This version is no less tasty, but much healthier—the flavour comes from allowing the onion and tomato base to cook down slowly, and the spices to assimilate in it. It’s the perfect a dish for a Saturday night, and tastes more decadent than the effort that actually goes into it—all you need is an hour max!
