Here I chopped the tomatoes into small pieces so that I could cook them easily. I chopped them with a knife. Then I heat a pan and put the chopped tomatoes in the pan . Here I used about a cup of water. Then I put a lid on it and let the tomatoes cook on low heat. After the tomatoes cooked for about 7-8 minutes I turn off the stove.

Then I blended the cooked tomatoes and were well blended. The more you blend it, the smoother the ketchup will be. After blending, I strained it using a sieve to remove any skins or other hard particles.
