Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 onions , chopped

1 thumb-size piece fresh root ginger , finely chopped or grated

2 garlic cloves , chopped

1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped

800g tomatoes , briefly whizzed in a food processor or finely chopped

100g dark brown sugar

100ml red wine vinegar

2 tbsp tomato purée

coriander seeds

Method

Heat the oil in a large, deep pan, then fry the onions, ginger, garlic and chilli for 10-15 mins until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and some seasoning, then boil for 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and is sticky.

Cool slightly, then whizz in a blender or food processor until smooth. If the sauce is a bit thick for your liking, stir in a dribble of boiling water. Sieve, then funnel into a bottle or jar while still hot. Cool completely before serving. Will keep for 3 months in the fridge.
