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.

Your support makes all the difference.

This is a good dip to serve with poppadams or fingers of naan bread, or even plantain chips.

tbsp vegetable or corn oil
1 small onion, peeled, halved and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
A small piece of root ginger weighing 20-30g, scraped and grated
1 small chilli, finely chopped
1tsp tomato purée
tsp ground turmeric
1tsp ground cumin
tsp cumin seeds
The black seeds from 6-8 cardamom pods
4tbsp Greek yoghurt
2tbsp crème fraîche
2tbsp chopped coriander

Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan and gently cook the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and spices for a couple of minutes on a low heat, stirring as they are cooking.

Next, add the tomato purée and about 100ml of water and simmer for a couple of minutes until the liquid has evaporated.

Then remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.

Once cool, whisk in the yoghurt, crème fraîche and coriander and refrigerate until required.
