HOW TO BLANCH TOMATO

Heat some water in a pot, sufficient enough to cover 2-3 tomatoes. Wash the tomatoes and remove the core using the tip of the paring knife. Cross cut on the opposite side as shown in the picture.
When the water starts boiling, drop the tomatoes and cook till the skin starts to split. I cooked them on medium high heat for 15 mins. Then remove from water and keep aside to cool.

After they cool off remove the skin with hands. The skin slips right off.

Tomatoes are now ready to be pureed for using in gravy and sauces recipe. I blanch the tomatoes in bulk and puree them, put them in 1 cup containers and store in freezer.
