INGREDIENTS
  

  • Ripe tomato പഴുത്ത തക്കാളി – 1 kg
  • Sugar പഞ്ചസാര – 5 Table spoons
  • Cardamom ഏലക്കാ – 6 Nos
  • Clove ഗ്രാമ്പു – 8 Nos
  • Cinnamon കറുവാപ്പട്ട – 2 Inch piece
  • Chilli powder മുളകുപൊടി – 1 Tea spoon

  • Salt ഉപ്പ് – 2 Tea spoons

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Chop tomatoes, ginger and garlic into small pieces.
  • Saute the chopped ingredients in a non-stick pan along with chilli powder, cardamom, clove and cinnamon. Cover the pan and cook for about 25 minutes in medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and mash it well. Now, pour the mixture through a strainer and filter it by pressing with the back of a ladle or a spatula.
  • Transfer the strained tomato sauce to the non-stick pan and add sugar, salt and vinegar. Cook it for another 20-25 minutes in medium heat by stirring continuously until it becomes sufficiently thick.
  • Store the tomato ketchup in an air tight and dry container. Use only glass or plastic jars. Keep it refrigerated to last up to 3 to 4 weeks.

NOTES

1) Adjust the level of sugar and salt to suite your tastes.
2) Do you want to preserve this tomato ketchup for a longer time? Just add half a teaspoon of sodium benzoate dissolved in a quarter cup of boiling water. Add this mixture to the ketchup (step 4). However, this is not recommended because it is not a healthy choice to add preservatives in tomato sauce.

According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

Hey Shaan, I liked your website. Its a great idea! But I should tell you that you should consider including explanations in more Indian languages. Why don’t you go for building an android app? Wishes! Sooraj
