- 1 tablespoon salt
- - peeled
- 1 1/2 pounds red-ripe tomatoes -- cored, - quartered

Cook safely
Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.
- Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
- Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
- Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

- Heat oil in a heavy, medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add onions and stir-fry until onions turn caramel brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Place in a blender with the ginger, tomatoes, cilantro, cayenne and salt; puree until smooth. Transfer to a medium-size saucepan. Stir in garam masala or curry powder, cover, and cook over medium heat until tomatoes loose their raw aroma, 15 to 18 minutes. Makes about 2 cups.
