Ingredients

• 1 kg Tomatoes (ripe, washed and roughly chopped)
• 1 piece Onion (medium, peeled and roughly chopped)
• 4 cloves Garlic (peeled)
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger (peeled and minced)
• 1 tsp Black Peppercorns (whole)
• 4 pieces Cloves (whole)
• 1 tsp Salt (to taste)
• 0.5 tsp Chili Powder (optional for mild heat)
• 100 g Jaggery (Bellam) (grated or chopped)
• 1 tbsp Granulated Sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
• 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed (or substitute white vinegar))
• 0.25 cup Water (add only if needed to adjust consistency)

Instructions

1. Prep the Produce

   Wash the tomatoes, remove stems and cores, then roughly chop. Peel and chop the onion, mince the garlic and ginger.

   Time: PT10M

2. Cook Tomatoes and Aromatics

   In a saucepan, combine chopped tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, whole peppercorns, cloves, salt, chili powder and ¼ cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes.

   Time: PT30M

3. Blend to a Smooth Purée

   Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender (in batches if needed) and blend until completely smooth.

   Time: PT5M

4. Strain the Purée

   Pass the blended purée through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot, using the back of a spoon to press out as much liquid as possible.

   Time: PT5M

5. Add Sweeteners and Acid

   Stir in the grated jaggery, granulated sugar and lemon juice. Cook on low heat, stirring continuously, until the jaggery fully dissolves and the ketchup thickens to a glossy consistency, about 15 minutes.

   Time: PT15M

6. Check Thickness

   Drop a teaspoon of the hot ketchup onto a cold plate. If it spreads slowly and holds its shape without running, it is ready.

   Time: PT2M

7. Cool and Jar

   Allow the ketchup to cool for about 10 minutes, then spoon it into sterilized glass jars, seal tightly, and let reach room temperature before refrigerating.

   Time: PT10M
