SEAT OF MY SOUL

This recipe is more traditional and not as generic, so the fat content is a lot less. If you do want a richer dish, add 1/2 cup of cream in the end. Make sure to add hot to cold not vice versa, so that the cream does not curdle.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion chopped
¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

2 teaspoons of crushed ginger
