- 1 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped tomatoes, tamarind paste, water, turmeric, coarsely ground black pepper, cumin seeds, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 15 minutes, until the tomatoes have completely broken down and the broth is a deep red-orange.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the broth until smooth, or carefully transfer in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended broth through a fine-mesh strainer back into the saucepan, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
