At the local Palestinian grocery, I saw this sauce on a markdown shelf. It's from India, "IMP. BY: HOS, NY, USA"

I don't know what kind(s) of peppers they use, but it seems like a small amount of something strong. The heat takes a moment to hit, but once it's started it has a nice sustain. The first flavor is tomatoes and cumin, with a bit of sweetness.  This would be nice as a kebab grilling sauce.
 
Ingredients:  Water, sugar, chili puree (12%) spices, tomato paste (4%) salt, acidity regulator (acetic acid)  Thickeners: modified corn starch, xanthan gum Preservative: sodium benzoate
