    This was pretty good. The sodium count is awfully high. I'd suggest using no salt added tomatoes, draining them, and adding a little water to make up the liquid deficiency. I also added some ground coriander and cardamom (about 1 tsp each) to the spice mix to improve the flavor a little. - 5/23/07
