  3. Transfer the toasted spices to a pestle and mortar and grind to a fine powder, or use a food processor to pulse into a powder.
  4. Add the ground spices to a food processor along with 2 large garlic cloves, 1 inch piece ginger (peeled), 2-3 red chilies (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 tablespoons tomato puree, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
