Ingredients

  • Tomatoes - 1 kg
  • Salt - 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon
  • Powdered Sugar - 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • White Vinegar - 1/2 cup (optional & preferred if storing in large quantities for too longer period)

Instructions

  1. Wash and Chop the black stalk part of tomatoes .
  2. Boil water in a big vessel/pan. Add the tomatoes to it and bring a boil for 4 to 5 mins and off the flame. Cover the lid and keep aside for 10 to 15 mins to let it cool on its own.
  3. Now you will find the skin of tomatoes split or torn at sides. Peel the skin of the tomatoes.
  4. Roughly chop the peeled tomatoes and grind to a puree. I prefer to remove the seeds. Sieve the puree to remove and discard the seeds.
  5. Take the tomatoes puree into a thick heavy bottomed pan/kadahi. Now cook this on a medium flame.
  6. Keep stirring in between and cook on low to medium flame for 10-15 mins till all water evaporates and the puree is thick in consistency.
  7. Add salt and powdered sugar. Mix well and cook for a min or two.
  8. Off the flame and let it cool. When it gets cooled, pour into ice trays and freeze them. Frozen Tomato Puree Cubes are ready! When freezed, demould them and store in ziplock bags or freezer safe airtight containers. You can keep them in smaller quantities in separate pouch/containers.
  9. Can store it for months in freezer for later use when either you run low on tomato stock or when the prices are soaring high. If you want this for storing longer duration, add vinegar to the puree before freezing. Use these tomato puree cubes for soups, chutneys, gravies and any other recipes where tomatoes are needed.
