Notes
- I like to keep all the liquid from the tomatoes to help thin out the final product; it might also give it a pretty, slightly pink color.
Additions & Variations
- finely diced onions
- shredded carrots
- chaat masala (makes it tangy/chatpata)
- tamarind (makes it a bit tart)

Notes
- You can reduce balsamic in a small pot to concentrate it down and thicken the consistency; it will become a balsamic glaze and be a little sweeter.
