Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 whole cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves (about 11 cloves)
1/8 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (about 10 peppercorns), lightly crushed
2 fresh bay leaves (or 4 dried)
2 green cardamom pods
6 medium tomatoes, quartered and seeded (about 3 pounds total)
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 (3/4-inch) knob fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 large bunch fresh cilantro, stems reserved and leaves finely chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
1 (3-inch) square cheesecloth; kitchen string

Steps:

  • Make spice sachet by wrapping together in cheesecloth the cinnamon sticks, coriander seeds, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and cardamom pods. Tie with kitchen string.
  • In heavy, large pot over high heat, stir together 4 cups water, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cilantro stems, 1 teaspoon salt, and spice sachet. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until reduced by 1/3, about 30 minutes. Strain through fine-mesh sieve into large clean pot, reserving solids. Discard spice sachet. Measure 1 cup of strained liquid in pot and transfer to blender. Add reserved solids and pureé until smooth. Strain through fine-mesh sieve back into pot with liquid.
  • Place pot over high heat and bring to simmer, about 5 minutes. Stir in ground pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve immediately, topping each portion with chopped cilantro leaves.
