Best Pizza Sauce
Description
A rich, slightly spicy homemade pizza sauce made with fresh tomatoes, dried red chilies, and carom seeds. Cooking the tomatoes down concentrates their flavor, while the spices give the sauce a warm, savory depth that works especially well on homemade pizza.

- 1 teaspoon salt, divided, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
- Place the quartered tomatoes and dried red chilies in a wide pan. Add the carom seeds, red chili powder, salt, sugar, black pepper and mix well.
- Cook over medium heat for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are completely soft and have released their juices.
- Let the tomato mixture cool slightly.
- Blend. Then add olive oil.
