  5. Combine the tomatoes and half-and-half in a food processor or blender; puree; set aside.
  6. Heat the oil in a deep, heavy skillet over medium heat; stir in the red chilies, black cardamom and cinnamon stick and cook 2 minutes.

  8. Add the reserved tamarind and ground-spice mixture; cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
