Instructions
Blend the Tomatoes

Heat the Oil

Add the Tomatoes

Add Salt and Sugar
- Add salt and sugar to balance the tomato taste. Sugar removes the sourness.
Simmer the Sauce
- Cook the sauce for 10 minutes on low flame. Stir often so it doesn’t burn. Add tomato paste if you like it thicker.
Cool and Store
- Let it cool down. Pour it into a jar or container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use the best canned tomatoes for a rich flavor.
- Add a little chili if you want it spicy.
- Blend longer for a smooth sauce.
- Let it cool before storing.
- Fresh herbs make it more tasty.
