Before processing tomatoes and other ingredients for tomato sauce, it's a good idea to remove the unpleasant taste that raw tomatoes sometimes have. One way to do this is to boil or steam the tomatoes and other ingredients before pureeing them.

This heating process not only helps eliminate the unpleasant taste, but also increases the availability of nutrients in the ingredients. After boiling or steaming, let the tomatoes and other ingredients cool before continuing the chili sauce making process.

After the main ingredients for your homemade tomato sauce have been prepared initially, the next step is to fry them in hot oil. This frying process provides a distinctive aroma and enhances the taste of the ingredients used.

Make sure to use oil that is hot enough so that the ingredients cook thoroughly and don't absorb too much oil. Proper frying also helps remove excess moisture from the ingredients, resulting in a thicker and more consistent texture in the tomato chili sauce.
