 Tomato paste


Tomato paste, or tomato concentrate, consists of tomatoes that have been cooked for several hours, strained and reduced to a thick, rich concentrate. It is generally fairly sweet.

Tomato puree consists of tomatoes that have been cooked briefly and strained, resulting in a thick liquid.

Tomato sauce is a somewhat thinner tomato puree, and may include seasonings and other flavorings so that it is ready to be used in other dishes or as a base for other sauces

Tomato purée is basically crushed tomatoes - with skins removed. Tomato paste is a a very concentrated purée - most of the water is removed. This gives a deep tomato flavour and can be used to slightly thicken sauce/gravies

1/2 tsp garlic paste...

1/2 cup tomato paste*

1/2 cup water

1 Tbsp castor sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp crushed red chilli

1 tsp oregano leaves

Cook onions in oil until onions become transparent (clear) then add garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Add all spices and colouring.

Add tomato paste* and water. Stir well on heat till well combined.

Tomato sauce is done.

*if you don't have tomato paste, take 4 tomatoes, cut into pieces and put in blender. Do not add any water. Put blended tomatoes through a sieve and then discard what is in sieve and put what was strained to pan with all above ingredients. You will need to cook this longer so it reduces and thickens.

If you are in a hurry you can thicken in a paste of 1/2 tsp cornflour and 1 Tbsp water.
