Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp oil

- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp mustard powder
- 1/2 tsp ground allspice

Instructions
- In a large pot, sauté onion in oil until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, and spices, stirring for 1 minute. Add tomato paste, and cook another minute. Add tomatoes (set juice aside, use if needed to thin ketchup to desired consistency) and mix well.
- Remove from heat and purée in batches, using a blender or food processor until smooth, then return to pot. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Stirring occasionally, allow to simmer for 1-2 hours, until thick.
