let’s start the recipe:

Step 1

What I did was to wash the tomatoes first using fresh water. I took out the tomatoes a few minutes before making the ketchup as the tomatoes were stored in the fridge and therefore required time to be put at room temperature. I then cut the tomatoes to small pieces in order to make them cook easily.

Step 2

Then I heat a pan and put tomatoes that I chopped in with approximately a cup of water. After that, I left the tomatoes to cook on a low heat probably 7-8 minutes. After they got soft and cooked I turned off the stove and allowed them to cool down a little.

Step 3

I then blended the cooked tomatoes till smooth, the more you blend the smoother the ketchup. The mixture was then mixed, and then I filtered it through sieve to eliminate skins and other hard particles.

Step 4

In the meantime, I chopped the ginger and green chilies into very fine pieces. I boiled a low quantity of cooking oil (1 tablespoons) in one pan and then added the chopped ginger and green chilies and fried them few seconds. Then I added tomato paste and left it to cook further 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

I too now put in the ketchup red chili powder, salt and sugar, tamarind pulp and vinegar. I added tamarind pulp because I love the tangy flavor. if you are not like tangy flavor you can skip it. I mix the ketchup well, in a manner that it is not stuck to the pan. At the point where the mixture had attained appropriate consistency, I removed the burner.

Step 6

This was all the Ginger Chili Ketchup I needed to make! It was thick, yummy, and with the proper portion of tangy, sweet and spice as I like it. i hope you guys like my recipe.

Present your final homemade ketchup to make it look attractive and well-prepared. Also use your name tag and date written on a paper.
