• Add some salt and turmeric powder. Let it boil and simmer.
• Dry roast black peppercorns and cumin in a pan till fragrant. Allow them to cool and then grind them together into a coarse powder.
• Peel the garlic cloves and lightly crush them. In a pan, heat the oil and add the crushed garlic. Fry till the garlic turns golden. 
• Add the roasted pepper and cumin powder into the pan and turn off the heat.
• Add the mixture from the pan to the simmering tomatoes. Continue to boil for 2-3 minutes to make all the spices come together and to make the tomatoes fall apart.
