You will need 30 ounces of fire-roasted tomatoes and one cup of peas. You can use canned tomatoes and frozen peas.

You will need three tablespoons of olive oil and one and one-half cups of vegetable broth. You can use low-sodium vegetable broth if that is your preference.

  • Curry and garam masala

You will need two teaspoons of curry powder and one teaspoon of garam masala powder. As previously mentioned, you can use more or less, depending on your taste.

  • Sugar, salt, and black pepper

You will need one tablespoon of sugar. Also, you can use salt and black pepper to season the dish to your liking.

  • Cayenne pepper

If you want a medium or hot dish, you can add cayenne pepper. But if you want a mild dish, you can forgo adding cayenne.
