1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Heat coconut oil in a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the onions and spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes, including their juices. Stir to combine.
