TOMATO SAUCE || TOMATO KETCHUP || HOMEMADE TOMATO SAUCE

Tomato Sauce/Ketchup

This is homemade vegan tomato ketchup made from fresh tomatoes🍅. It is low fat,gluten free and most important,it's preservatives free. I have also added flavourful ingredient like onion,garlic,red chillies. Red Chillies give a smoky type flavour to ketchup and garlic and onion increase the hotness of the ketchup-you can skip this if you don't eat. I have also used a small bag which contains small cinnamom piece,two cloves and star anise which gives a unique and wonderful taste to the sauce/ketchup. It stays fresh for 1 month in fridge.

Ingredients:

1/2 kg Tomatoes🍅(Red and Soft)

1 small Chopped Onion(Optional)

Small piece of Ginger

3 dried red chillies

6-7 Garlic Cloves

small Cinammom piece

2 cloves

1 star anise

1/4 cup Water

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

2 tbsp Vinegar

Method:

Wash Tomatoes and remove it's eyes and seeds and cut it into 4 pieces. 

Take chopped tomatoes in pressure cooker and add onion,ginger,dry chillies and cloves.

Now,take cinnamom piece,cloves and star anise in a small cloth and cover that cloth.

Put that cloth bag in pressure cooker for enhancing taste and aroma.

Add water and cook it till 3-4 whistles.

After 3-4 whistles,remove the cloth bag and after it cools,take it in mixer jar and blend puree.

Strain it in a strainer so that seeds are removed.

Take puree in a pan/kadhai and let it heat.

Add sugar for sweetness and shine. Add red chilli powder and salt and cook on medium flame.

Add vinegar and cover it and cook it until becomes thick.

For checking,take little amount of tomato ketchup in plate and make the plate slant and if water comes,you need to cook it for more time,and if not,perfect tomato sauce is ready.

Tomato Sauce/Ketchup is ready! Store it in fridge for 1 month and ENJOY!
