Instructions

Preparing the Sauce

Boil the tomatoes and crush half of them in a grinder.

• 

• 

• 

Finely chop onions and garlic along with some green chili

• 

• 

Add onion and some chilies to a pan and cook until the onion is soft and caramelized. Once done, add crushed tomatoes and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer.

• 

• 

Add the other boiled Tomatoes and crush them in the pan by hand. I like to leave behind some chunks of tomato in the sauce that can provide some tangy taste. Cook the mixture under cover until well done.

• 

• 

So as to give the sauce a sweeter taste, I would add some tomato ketchup for taste and bring it to simmer again. The sauce is ready

• 

Once done well with the sauce, server it along with Spaghetti and / or Italian bread and / or use it over Pizza or with pasta
