• Once the raw smell leaves and the color changes to deep red, add chilli flakes and mixed herbs.
• Cook in simmer for 5mins.
• Add salt and sugar,cook for few more mins until oil seperates. You can see oil collecting at the edges,this is the right stage.Switch off.

Notes

• You can replace chilli flakes with red chilli paste.
• You can skip sugar if you want a spicy pizza sauce.
• This can be used for pasta too.
• You can even add fresh basil leaves, if you get it.
• If you want a smooth paste, blanch the tomatoes then puree it.Also use garlic paste.
• This sauce keeps well at least for 7 to 10 days in fridge, use clean dry spoon while using.The oil should float on top which will increase the shelf life so do not compromise on oil if you are planning to store.
