In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in crushed tomatoes, cumin, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Cucumber Mint Raita

In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped mint, salt, and lemon juice until well combined. Chill until ready to serve.
