Desi Style Pizza Sauce

Here's the recipe for an Indian version of Pizza sauce/ Pasta Sauce. Use it to make spicy pizzas with the ready pizza base or even to make snacks like bread pizza. 

Ingredients:

2 cups Pasta sauce easily available in Dept stores (I use Pasta sauce as it already comes pre loaded with veggies) - You could substitute this with fresh veggies(Onion and Green peppers) and Tomato puree.

Garlic about 4-5 cloves.

1 green chilly finely chopped

Chopped onion(optional if using pasta sauce)

Red Chilly powder - as hot as u want the sauce to be.

1 tsp Coriander + Cumin powder

1 tsp garam masala powder

Lots of finely chopped cilantro(coriander) leaves (It goes very well with the sour tomato taste!)

1 tsp oil

1 tsp jeera(cumin)

Salt and Sugar as needed.

Method:

Heat oil in a pan. 

Add jeera. After it splutters add garlic and green chillies.

(If not using pasta sauce : Add the onion and green peppers, fry till golden brown, then add tomato puree.)

Pour in the pasta sauce.

Add the masala powders, adjust sugar and salt.Let it cook for about 2 mins.

Toss in the chopped cilantro leaves. Cook for about a minute.

Take off heat and cool. This sauce can be stored in the fridge for about a week.

PS: I sometimes add chole masala or pulav masala in place of garam masala for that slightly different flavor. It turns out really good! :)
