2 cups tomato puree
2 Tbsp. butter
1/2 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk

In heavy skillet, cook onion, garlic, and ginger in 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp.

butter until fragrant. Add curry powder, pepper, salt, tomato puree, and 2 Tbsp. butter and simmer for 10 minutes.

    I grew up eating Persian food, which includes a lot of rice dishes. Indian food also tends to have a lot of rice dishes. So, this recipe is right up my alley. Thank you
