Tomato Puree Recipe:
1.Heat water in a sauce pan and immerse tomatoes in it.Put on high flame foe 2 mins and then reduce the flame.Boil them by covering with a lid for 15 mins.

2. Once you open the lid you will see the skin of the tomatoes leaving the body of it. Switch off the stove and allow them to cool down for some time.

3.Remove the skin of the tomatoes,it will come out easily.Then blend in the tomatoes into fine puree.Store the puree in zip lock bags and freeze it for future use if you wish.
