Assalamualaikum.

Hello everyone.How are you all? I am fine by the grace of almighty. Hope you are also fine.

First of all, I would like to thank @afzalqamar for organizing such a beautiful contest. Any food made at home is always much healthier and nutritious. We eat ketchup with various snacks or spicy snacks. However, if this ketchup is made at home, it tastes much better. Apart from that, it does not contain any harmful ingredients, but rather contains some good ingredients that are very beneficial for our body. In this course, I have made ketchup many times, as shown in making ketchup with tomatoes and garlic and some other domestic ingredients. But again, I got the opportunity to present it beautifully to everyone. Both tomatoes and garlic are very beneficial for our body. And this is a ketchup to preserve. By making it, everyone, young and old, can enjoy its taste. If you make it at home like this instead of eating market-bought ketchup, then its taste will be good as well as its health value will be good. Anyway, without further ado, let's start my recipe today.

Ingredients required for making Herbal Tomato ketchup .

Ingredients	Quantity
Tomato	300 gram
Sugar	1 Tablespoon
Water	1cup
Salt	1/2 Teaspoon
Chili flex	1 Teaspoon
Garlic	7 cloves
Vinegar	1/3 cup

Step-1

First, I washed the tomatoes thoroughly and then cut them into thin slices.

Step-2

I took a cup of water in a pan. Then I added the tomatoes. Along with this, I added the garlic cloves and then continued cooking.

Step-3

Now I cooked them for a while. When everything was soft, I took it off the stove and let it cool a bit. Then I put it in a blender and made a really good paste.

Step-4

Now I took this paste again in a pan. Then I added chili flakes, salt, and sugar.

Step-5

At this stage, I added a little vinegar. Then, stirring well, I cooked it until it thickened. When it was done cooking, I took it off the heat. Now, while it was still hot, I poured it through a very dry sieve and sieved it in a dry bowl.

Final result

Later, I decorated them and then stored them in a well-dried glass jar.

Did you face any difficulty in the preparation of the ketchup at home?

I have made tomato ketchup several times. Because I really enjoy eating it. During winters, when tomatoes are abundant and fresh from the tree, I really enjoy making ketchup with those tomatoes. That's why I didn't face any difficulty in making this ketchup. On the contrary, I really like it.

What do you say about the taste and freshness of the homemade ketchup which you have prepared as compared to the market ketchup?

Any food made at home is always much healthier. But I really enjoyed eating the ketchup that I made. Because it was made very easily with some homemade ingredients, its taste was amazing. Market-bought ketchups are very unhealthy. Which should always be avoided. Making it at home will have many benefits and it contains nutrients.The ketchups available in the market contain many harmful substances. They are very harmful for children. And eating ketchups from the market increases cholesterol levels. Along with that, there are also health risks. If ketchup is made at home, then that ketchup is much healthier. Children can eat them easily.

I invited my 3 friends to join this contest.
