Method
Add the tomatoes to a pressure cooker along with the onion, garlic and water. Pressure cook for 15 minutes, reducing the flame to medium after the first whistle.
Blend into a smooth puree using a mixer or a hand blender.
Strain and add the puree into a pan.
Add sugar, vinegar, salt and red chilli powder. Cook on a medium heat until it thickens, around 20-25 minutes.
To check if the ketchup is cooked, add some of the ketchup to a plate. The water should not run separately. If you make a line using your finger, the shape should remain.
