Ketchup

 

Today I am grateful for this incredible sauce that is the "Ketchup" of everyday usage. You may find a variety of recipes for homemade ketchup on YouTube. Personally, I do like homemade ketchup, my mom and aunts used to make it at home. I appreciate and acknowledge the significance of ketchup for a variety of reasons, for instance:

• Ketchup is not eaten by spoon or hand but it adds value, taste and aroma to the cuisine and snacks or bites

• Ketchup compliments and enhances the flavour of the meal and its aroma intensifies the tastebuds 

• Ketchup is kind of sweet, saltish, savour and with tangy blends, however, now available in a variety of blends, for instance, mayo and mustard

• Ketchup is a popular and all-time favourite regardless of culture, socioeconomic status, gender and age groups

• It is made with tomato puree with added spices, for instance, salt, sugar, vinegar, red chillies, onion and added chat masala. These ingredients I discovered in my family whereas commercial recipes and ingredients might be varied

• Ketchup harmonizes very well as a dip with snacks, curries and cuisines but it depends on the recipes as well

• Ketchup complements and goes very well with samosa, roll, pakora, burger, sandwiches, nuggets, fried fish, Tikka, kebab, Chinese and Thai cuisines 

• That's my understanding and thoughts regarding ketchup, what is yours? is the question of the day
