Very simple and tasty. A western interpretation of an Indian (Rajasthani) recipe.

pretty good - had to add sugar because 1 tsp of Worcester was too much for us

This was absolutely delicious...better than Cambell's and I've always loved Cambell's. I added 1/8 cup sugar to cut the acidity. I used diced tomatoes which I strained and then pureed smooth. It was lovely! UPDATE: I FINALLY found strained tomatoes and I no longer need to pure anything....weeee...:)
