Must Read – Homemade Tomato Ketchup Recipe

 

Ingredients 

• Tomatoes: Since this sauce is tomato-based so obviously the main ingredient is tomato only.
• Onion and Garlic: In addition, we use some onions and garlic too.

• Herbs: It is the herbs that give actual flavour to the otherwise usual tomato-onion mix. Apart from oregano and chilli flakes, garlic and basil give a classic flavour to this sauce.

• Beetroot: And for the colour of the sauce, as it should be appealing, I use, no no... no food colour but the natural red colour imparted by our very dear nutritious beetroot.

And since I use Desi tomatoes for making this sauce, beetroot becomes all the more necessary.

The quantity I have mentioned below is good for 7 to 8 pizzas of roughly 8" or 500 gms (raw) pasta.You can adjust the quantity as per your preference like more or less or no onions.

An Easy Recipe 

• It's a very easy and different recipe. I neither blanch nor peel tomatoes. You may do so if you want but trust me no need to do so.
• Simply boil tomatoes, onion and beetroot. Grind. Add herbs, cook a little and that's it.

Tip: One important thing, do not boil garlic. Garlic releases its flavours more when sauteed in oil. So, take care of this.
