I make this pizza sauce regularly fresh at home and refrigerate for a week. We all love homemade pizza with our homemade sauce at our home. Also my son will like to have Pizza wrap, Bread pizza, Bhakri pizza using this sauce. Sometimes I also pack pasta in red sauce for his lunch box using this sauce. So one simple sauce to make many magical dishes!!

Few tips:

Use nice red ripe tomatoes and always blanch them. It will give a taste similar to the canned tomatoes.

Use tomato paste as it gives nice taste and thickness to the sauce.

I have used more dried herbs and parsley and hence it gave a little dark color to my sauce. You can reduce the quantity of herbs.

I have use red capsicum at it imparts nice taste and red colour to the sauce. You can use green capsicum in place of red capsicum.

I prefer using flat broad pan to make sauce as it helps the water of the sauce to evaporate quicker. The sauce is thickened quickly.

Blend the sauce to a coarse texture.

So friends do try making this simple and easy sauce at home and do share your feed back with me.

Till then khao dilse, khilao dilse aur banao dilse…
