Make a cross on the tip of tomatoes and slit for blanching. Take simmering salted water and leave the tomatoes in it for about 15-20 seconds. keep this tomato juice aside. Take out the tomatoes and put them in ice-cold water. This helps to peel them as the skin automatically leaves the surface of the tomatoes. Peel and cut them horizontally in two pieces. Remove the pulp and seeds from the tomatoes and chop them finely. Strain the pulp and the seeds with the help of a sieve for juice. Take a pan, heat olive oil and saute one tablespoon chopped onion and one tablespoon chopped garlic. Add little butter for taste, crushed black pepper, tomato juice, basil leaves, little sugar (to reduce the sharpness of the tomatoes) and salt. Now add chopped tomatoes and the vegetable stock. Use dry thyme and chilli flakes as per taste.
