Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
½tsp chilli powder
1tsp turmeric, or 2tsp freshly grated fresh turmeric root
2tsp brown mustard seeds
1tsp fennel seeds
500ml vegetable stock
600-700g firm tomatoes, quartered
Salt
2tbsp freshly shredded coriander leaves
4 slices of bread about 1cm thick
Heat the oil or ghee in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and gently fry the onion, garlic and spices for 3-4 minutes without colouring. Add the stock and simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by half.
Add the tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring every so often until the tomatoes soften a little, then stir in the coriander leaves and re-season if necessary.
Toast the bread on both sides and serve with the tomatoes spooned on top.
