Saute cumin, paprika, garlic, ginger root and jalapenos in butter
until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, cardamom
and garam masala. Simmer gently until thickened, 30 to 60 minutes
(depending on juiciness of tomatoes). Add yogurt, optional cream and
cilantro. Heat through, but do not boil. Serve over couscous or pasta.
