Instructions
Tomato Puree Version:
Blend tomato can and tomato puree together in a blender.
Chop a clove of garlic into small chunks.
Take a pan and add olive oil to it.
Add the garlic and saute for a minute until the aroma is released. Do not let it brown otherwise the sauce won't taste as good.
Now add the blended tomato mixture (can and puree) to the pan.
Add the remaining spices (sugar, salt, oregano. chili flakes and black pepper powder).
Cook the sauce on medium heat until it thickens to your required consistency.
Fresh Tomato Version:
First we need to remove the tomato peel. Just make an X on the bottom of the tomatoes and immerse in boiling water for a minute. Take them out and immediately immerse into a bowl of cold water, once cool enough to touch, remove the peel. It will slip off like a charm
