Tomato Puree

The production of Martban Tomato Purée begins with the selection of the finest, vine-ripened tomatoes. These tomatoes are harvested at their peak of freshness to ensure optimal flavor and quality. After being carefully sorted and washed, they undergo a meticulous process to create the purée. The tomatoes are first blanched to remove their skins and then gently simmered to soften them. Once they reach the desired consistency, they are carefully pureed to create a smooth and silky texture. This puree is then strained to remove any seeds or pulp, resulting in a velvety tomato purée. The purée is immediately packaged to preserve its natural freshness and flavor, ensuring that every jar of Martban Tomato Purée delivers the true essence of ripe tomatoes.

Martban Tomato Puree is best suited for creating rich and smooth gravies and dishes. One classic recipe that perfectly complements this tomato purée is the hearty and flavorsome Butter Chicken. **Butter Chicken Recipe:** Ingredients: - 500g boneless chicken, cut into pieces - 1 cup Martban Tomato Purée - 1/2 cup plain yogurt - 2 tablespoons butter - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil - 1 onion, finely chopped - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 1-inch piece of ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon garam masala - 1 teaspoon chili powder - 1 teaspoon turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon cumin powder - 1/2 cup heavy cream - Salt to taste - Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish Instructions:
