Nomato Sauce
Rich and flavourful, can be used in place of ketchup or as pasta sauce
Equipment
- Electric pressure cooker, optional
Ingredients
Pressure Cooker Ingredients
- 1 tbsp raisins - substitute for dates if your digestion is weak
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and chopped roughly
- 1 small beetroot, peeled and chopped finely
- 1 1/2 tsp pink salt
- 1 1/2 medium carrots, chopped roughly
- pinch hing
- pinch turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp dried coriander leaves
- 1 tbsp maple syrup - optional, if you want it as sweet as ketchup
- 1 1/2 tbsp ghee
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup water
Extras
- 1 1/2 cup freshly chopped herbs - I used half fresh basil and half fresh coriander leaves
- 2 lime wedges
- black pepper - optional. Avoid if you have acidic stomach.
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a pressure cooker and cook on high for ten minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally.Alternatively, cook under a lid till the vegetables are soft to blend. You might need to add a little more water to achieve the desired sauce consistency.
- Blend with a stick blender and stir in the chopped herbs.
- Just before serving, squeeze the lime juice out of the wedges into the sauce. Note that, the acidity in the limes will influence the colour of the sauce to go towards fuchsia pink, rather than red. If the red colour is important for your dish, reduce the juice or leave it out.
