When I started grilling on my charcoal grill, I realized that I need to get hold of some BBQ sauce.
I visited few superstores and found out that all BBQ sauce were pretty costly. For a casual griller like me such huge price was overhead. So I decided to make BBQ sauce myself. I went ahead searched on web, youtube and various food blogs and finally decide to mix 2-3 recipes to make one for me :) Basically its a mix of many sauces put together. I made one using tomato sauce as base sauce. So here is list of ingredients that I used. These ingredients shall yield about 300-400ml of sauce.
Things we need:
- 8 Big red Tomatoes
- 1/2 cup tomato ketchup (I used plain one)
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1/2 cup soya sauce
- 1/2 molasses
- 1/4 cup chilly sauce (you can have 1/2 cup if you need more hot version)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 green chillies finely chopped
- 8 cloves of garlic finely chopped
- 1" ginger finely chopped
- 1 tsp tamrind paste
- Sugar as per taste
- Salt as per taste
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
How to do it:
- Peel and de-seed tomatoes and make nice smooth purée.
- Take heavy bottom pan and heat oil in it
- Sauté onion till they become transparent (don't let them brown)
- Add finely ginger, garlic and chillies and sauté well with onions.
- Then add Tomato puree and stir well and cook it.
- Add tomato ketchup and chilly sauce and stir well
- Then add soya sauce and molasses
- Add in tamrind paste, salt and vinegar and cook for about 3-5 minutes
- Now you will need to balance taste of sauce by adding sugar/chilly powder as per your taste.
- Well that's it its just mixture of sauce, let it cool and fill it in dry jars and refrigerate for storage.
