To begin making the Tomato Puree first, cut 500 grams of ripe red tomatoes into half. Place these halves in the pressure cooker, add 2 tablespoons of water and cook until you hear one whistle.

After a whistle you can turn off the heat. We will now release the pressure immediately, by placing the pressure cooker under running water. You will notice the pressure releases immediately.

Open the pressure cooker. You will notice that the skin of the tomatoes have separated from the pulp and there is a lot of water released as well.

Drain the water using a strainer (you can reuse the water in vegetable stock or soups). Once the tomatoes cool, peel and discard the skin.

At this stage you will have only the pulp that remains.

You can now puree the pulp in a blender and the tomato puree is ready. You can now use the pre-cooked Tomato Puree in your recipes for curries and any other gravy dish and you will make a perfect curry recipe every time.
