  3. 03

    Stir in the garlic, cumin seeds, paprika, and black pepper and cook briefly until fragrant.

    Add the bell pepper, tomato, and tomato paste and cook until the tomatoes begin to break down.

  5. 05

    Pour in the water, add the salt, and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce is lightly brothy and the vegetables are tender.
