5 large tomatoes, quartered
2 habanero peppers, halved, divided
1 ½ cups water, divided
2 onions, chopped, divided
3 cloves garlic, diced
2 teaspoons ginger, diced
½ cup vegetable oil
1 Tin tomato paste
3 shrimp bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon adobo
3 ½ cups jasmine rice, uncooked, rinsed
