2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 plum tomatoes, quartered lengthwise and cut into large chunks
1 1/2 cups water

5
Cook, stirring to break up paste, until mixture is smooth and fragrant, about 1 minute.
6
Add tomatoes to skillet.
7
Cook, stirring, until they begin to release their juices, about 1 minute.

Add the water; simmer until tomatoes break down slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.

10
Remove from heat.

12
Serve immediately over rice, with lime wedges alongside, as desired.
13
Jalapenos get their heat from the seeds and ribs.
14
If you prefer food that is less spicy, halve chile lengthwise and scrape out seeds and ribs with a paring knife before chopping the flesh (otherwise, just chop the entire jalapeno).

Its a good idea to wear plastic gloves when working with them.
