- Grind toasted spices in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
- In a deep, heavy, nonreactive pot, combine onions, ground coriander, cumin and mustard and remaining ingredients.
- Simmer over medium-low heat about 3 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to break up tomatoes and to keep ketchup from sticking.
