"Perfect Homemade Tomato Sauce Recipe | Easy & Delicious"

Here’s a simple and delicious homemade tomato sauce recipe: 🍅 Ingredients: Fresh red tomatoes - 1kg Onion (medium-sized) - 1 Ginger - 1 inch piece Garlic (optional) - 2-3 cloves Sugar - 4 tbsp Salt - 1 tsp (or to taste) Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp Chili powder (optional) - 1/4 tsp White vinegar - 1/4 cup Instructions: Prepare the tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes and cut a small "X" at the bottom of each. Boil them in hot water for 3-4 minutes. Once done, let them cool slightly and peel off the skin. Chop into small pieces. Prepare the aromatics: Finely chop the onion and ginger (and garlic, if using). Blend the base: Add the chopped tomatoes, onion, ginger, and garlic into a blender and puree until smooth. Cook the sauce: Pour the pureed mixture into a pan and cook on medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the flavoring: Add sugar, salt, pepper, and chili powder to the mixture. Stir well. Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the vinegar: Stir in the white vinegar and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed. Strain the sauce (optional): For a smoother texture, pass the sauce through a fine strainer to remove any pulp or seeds. Store it: Once the sauce cools, pour it into a clean, airtight bottle or jar and store it in the fridge. Tips: Adjust the sugar and vinegar to balance the sweetness and tanginess to your taste. This sauce works great as a dip, a pizza base, or even for pasta dishes! Enjoy your homemade tomato sauce! 🍝
