3. Garlic – 6 cloves

4. Whole Kashmiri chillies – 4

5. Dry red chillies – 2

6. Kashmiri chilli powder – ½ tsp

Method

1. In a saucepan, add chopped onion and garlic cloves.

2. Cut off the stem end of the tomatoes and score an ‘X’ on the bottom of each tomato. Add them to the saucepan.

3. Add the Kashmiri chillies and dry red chillies along with ½ cup of water.

4. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium flame. Once one side of the tomatoes is cooked, flip them and cook the other side.

5. After everything is cooked, let it cool down. Once cooled, peel off the tomato skins.

6. Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender and grind it into a smooth paste.

7. Heat a kadai (or pan), add oil, then add the blended paste.

8. Stir in the salt, sugar, kashmiri chilli powder, oregano, and tomato sauce. Mix well

9. Cook on medium heat until the sauce thickens and the raw smell disappears.

10. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool completely.

11. Store in a clean, dry glass jar. Keep refrigerated and use within 7 days, as this sauce contains no preservatives
