Ingredients

6 medium tomatoes, chopped
2 red chili peppers, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
