Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until they become soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for an additional minute to toast the spices and release their flavors.
