Pizza Sauce

I just love home made pizzas rather than store bought, as i can customise my own way and also make it crispier enough to suit my taste buds.. So whenever i plan to bake my pizza at home, i always go for a fresh home made pizza sauce, as it just enhances the taste of pizza even more.. I like my sauce chunky and not smooth.. It gives a texture and bite to my pizza... I have learnt this recipe from my sister-in-law and have been following ever since.. And this pizza sauce you can use it in your own way... Use as a spread on pizza or as a spread on sandwich or even in any of your chapati rolls.. Kids would love to gorge on this and adults like it equally..

Ingredients:

2tbsp olive oil

1 onion finely chopped

1 capsicum finely chopped

3 tomatoes blanched in hot water for 10mins, peeled and chopped

2-3 cloves garlic crushed

2tbsp tomato sauce

Salt to taste

1tsp oregano fresh or dried

1tsp red chilli flakes

1tsp red chilli powder

1tsp basil fresh or dried

Add in tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, red chilli powder, red chilli flakes, oregano and basil.. Mix and cook covered on sim for good 10-12mins till all the water dries up.. Taste and adjust seasoning according to preferences.. Once done off the gas and remove in a bowl.. Use it instantly or store in air tight container in fridge for good 4-5 days..
