Your Secret Recipe To The Perfect Silky Smooth Butter Chicken

 Have you ever planned a get together where you wondered what's that one recipe that will win hearts and found yourself perplexed because all you could think about is biryani which is again the same usual main course recipe that every other person makes. Unlike others, I'm not a die-hard fan of briyawni or whatever whitewashed tone you use to call it. Matter of fact I don't even understand the hype. anyways biryani isn't a big deal either if you are a Hyderabadi like me. So this is where the butter chicken comes into picture.  Butter chicken is one of the latest introductions to the Indian cuisine, must be some decades old and not more. The idea initially started when someone decided to add their leftover chicken tikka from last night to a simple yet freshly prepared gravy of onions and tomatoes.

Bottle This Homemade Pizza Sause And Preserve It For As Long As You Can

On a scale of 1-10, how often do you bake pizzas at home? While everyone prefers ordering pizzas from outside, a passionate cook's dream is to serve her own homemade pizza for her friends and family that is baked in the happy place that she calls her kitchen. 

I'm not a great pizza maker but I know the content you feel in baking pizza with your own hands. But how good would it be if you replace the store-bought pizza sauce with a fresh homemade sauce? I mean nothing wrong with the store-bought ones but if you wanna showcase your great cooking and baking skills then why hesitate to try making the sauce at home, its absolutely fun, easy, and pretty quick to make like it literally take 5-7 mins to whip up and ready to be spread on the pizza, not to mention the delicious aroma that fills your house while the pizza is bakin'. I mean store-bought pizza sauces could never, you know. 
Truss me, it's even more simple than you think plus it's only a one-time task. PREPARE IT and PRESERVE IT. Make sure you use the superior quality fresh red tomatoes for this. Yeah, the juicy ones. 

Ingredients

➤Olive oil- 3 tbsp
➤6 Fresh, red tomatoes- medium-sized
➤Tomato paste- 70gm
➤1 Onion-  medium-sized, roughly chopped
➤4-5 Garlic cloves
➤Oregano and thyme- 1 tsp each
➤Red chili flakes- 1/2 tsp
➤Hot sauce- 1 tbsp
White vinegar- 2 tbsp

1. In a pot, simmer the tomatoes until they are soft and delicate. Cool them down the peel off the cover.

2. Throw the peeled tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, garlic cloves, oregano, thyme, chili flakes, hot sauce, and vinegar in a blender. Add a lil water and grind into a fine smooth paste.

3. Next, in a saucepan add olive oil. Pour the paste and cook for a couple of minutes until you get the thick consistency of the paste and the oil starts to appear on the top. You can sprinkle a lil salt, it's completely optional since the saltiness from the vinegar is already there. Once it cools down, store it in a glass bottle and preserve it in the refrigerator and each time you bake your pizza, simply slap a few spoonfuls and spread. Sprinkle your preferred toppings and looots and looots of cheese, of course. Throw the pizza in the oven, hold your drool, and wait for the beauty to come out perfectly baked and ready. 

NOTE:
❥ The sauce can stay fresh for up to a month in the refrigerator.
❥  To avoid spoilage DO NOT use a wet spoon. Your sauce will stay fresh for longer this way.
