- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric

Directions
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in oil until onion is translucent. Stir in cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne.

Notes
Cooks Note:This recipe is vegan, but obviously if you add yogurt (as I do) it no longer falls under that category. I also add about a tablespoon of brown sugar to the mixture to balance out the flavors, but this is also optional.
