Heat a pan on high heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and let it warm up.

Add chopped onions to the pan and fry until they are caramelized but not browned.

Add ginger and garlic to the pan.

Add 1 tomato to the pan, chopped or whole, as preferred.

Pour 50 ml of water into the tomato tin and swirl it around to capture the tomato goodness, then add it to the pan.

Stir the mixture and continue to cook until the tomato breaks down.

Add thyme to the mixture and stir it in.

Cover the pan with a lid or a plate to retain heat.

Reduce the heat to medium and move the pan to the back burner to cool slightly.

Keep an eye on the sauce to prevent it from sticking or burning, adding more water if necessary.
