Peel and coarsely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Peel and finely chop the ginger root, it has to be finer than the onion and garlic so they'll be done at the same time. 

Heat a bit of olive oil in a small saucepan and sauté the onion, garlic and ginger for a few minutes. As soon as they're softened enough you can add the ground spices and sauté them briefly. 

Transfer everything to the mortar or small blender and create a paste, if it's not smooth enough you can add a bit of sunflower oil.
