warm oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add spices and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates and mixture is quite dry, about five minutes.
