Instructions

    Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and prune concentrate and cook until the onions have softened and are caramelized, about 5 minutes more.

    Stir in the spices and cook briefly. Pour in the tomatoes and water. Bring to a near boil, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 30 minutes. Alternatively, after adding the tomatoes and water, pressure-cook the sauce for 15 minutes on high pressure. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
