Homemade Tomato Sauce Recipe
Tomato sauce recipe is one of the easy and quite simple recipes made with Tomato, red chilli powder, ginger, garlic, onion, vinegar, and corn flour. Anyone can easily make tomato sauce at home by following my recipe instructions.
Tomato sauce is also known as Neapolitan sauce, salsa roja in Spanish, or salsa di pomodoro in Italian [wiki]. It is usually served with Pasta, Spaghetti, Pizza, Homemade French Fries, Potato Wedges, Chinese Chicken Curry, Chinese Chilli Chicken, Chicken Pakora, Fried Chicken and more.
Roma Tomato
Roma is a plum tomato popular for producing tomato paste, tomato sauce and puri. When Roma tomatoes are completely ripe, they are egg or pear-shaped and red. Roma tomatoes are available in 3 inches long and larger varieties. This classic tomato is used in Italian cuisine. So, I strongly recommend you to use Roma tomatoes for making delicious sauce.
San Marzano Tomato
If I compare San Marzano to Roma, San Marzano is thinner and the flesh is much thicker with fewer seeds. The taste of San Marzano is stronger, sweeter and less acidic. These tomatoes are available in 2 to 3 inches. San Marzano tomatoes are also the best choice to make tomato sauce and tomato paste.
Campari Tomato
If you didn’t find Roma and San Marzano, you can select any types of tomatoes. Here, in this tomato sauce recipe, I have selected Campari tomato. Campari is one kind of tomato, familiar for its juiciness, low acidity, and high sugar level. These tomatoes are available in any local supermarket.
