• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the ground cumin, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute to toast the spices.
