13.TIPS: Don't fry the spices for too long, it will make them bitter. Careful when frying the spices, the oil can splatter alot. Careful with salt, some tinned tomatoes already have salt. The taste of the dish also intensifies with cooking as the liquid evaporates. Best results achieved when cooked on low for a longer period of time.
