Is your garden overflowing with tomatoes? Well, mine was a couple of weeks ago. After making the makhni gravy, tomato pickle-1, tomato pickle-2, fresh salsa and canned salsa I decided to freeze some. You can freeze whole tomatoes or tomatoes cut into chunks, but I decided to go this route after talking with a co-worker of mine. She mentioned the procedure she uses for canning tomatoes and I did the same, but froze it instead. There are a lot of Indian dishes where tomato puree is used and having some in the freezer comes in handy always. Off to the recipe.
