| Notes: | This was my favourite dish from my favourite Indian restaurant in Vancouver, Rubina Tandoori.
Usually I just use 1 19oz can each of diced and crushed tomatoes Goes equally well over pasta, with or without prawns. Rubina Tandoori was in the heart of Vancouver's little Italy, and the local Italians would often buy the sauce to take home and serve over pasta. |
