Ingredients

1 red, sweet tomato

1/2 teaspoon butter

1 pinch pepper powder

1 cup Water

 

Recipe

Wash and cut the tomatoes into small pieces. There is no need to be very meticulous about the size as we will blend them later. If you want, you may deseed the tomatoes too, but I like to put the whole tomato.

Put these cut tomato pieces in a pressure cooker.

Add half a cup of water to the cooker.

Add a pinch of pepper powder to the tomatoes.

Now close the pressure cooker and cook for 2 whistles.

Once cool, open the pressure cooker and transfer the cooked tomatoes into a blender jar.

Blend the tomatoes into a fine puree.

Now heat a pan and transfer the pureed tomatoes to the pan.

Add butter to this and heat it.

If you feel it is thick, you may also add some extra water to this.

Take it out and serve it your baby for lunch or dinner.
