  • First off, wash and remove the seeds from your fresh tomatoes and cut them into small pieces,
  • Boil till very soft, but do not let the water dry off completely,
  • Transfer your boiled tomatoes, while it is very hot, to a wire mess. It's important to use a wired mesh and not a perforated one as the latter does not do such a great job of making a smooth tomato puree.
  • Using a spoon squeeze the tomato through the mesh into a bowl till you have the roughages left in the mess, and a smooth puree in the bowl.

There you have smooth tomato puree, without the use of a blender. So, no more panicking if there's a sudden power cut while you're cooking.
