Ketchup is a favourite among kids but did you know that it contains high quantities of salt, sugar, fructose & preservatives to enhance the taste? These ingredients can have adverse effects on the body.

It’s time to switch to a yummy, homemade sauce made with fresh tomatoes. It’s very simple to make & works as a good accompaniment for snacks.

👉🏼Tomatoes have high water content, are a good source of vitamin C that boosts immunity & vitamin A which is great for eyesight
👉🏼They contain a powerful antioxidant called lycopene which is associated with a decreased risk of chronic diseases
👉🏼Garlic is helpful in treating intestinal & respiratory infections, promotes digestion & has anti-inflammatory properties that support the immune system
👉🏼Onions contain fibre, folate, vitamin C, and potassium that contribute to your child’s daily nutritional needs 

Method:
🍅In a cooker, combine 8 tomatoes, 4 onions, 10 garlic cloves, a piece of ginger, salt & water
🍅Cook for 3-4 whistles
🍅Blend the mix & strain it
🍅Add a little jaggery to sweeten
