In a large saucepan, heat the butter and oil over high heat with the garlic, ginger and seasonings until fragrant. Add the green chili, onion and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and rice and slowly add the broth. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the rice absorbs the liquid and becomes tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. When the rice is just tender add the sausage. Cook until the meat is done, about 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
