hi kamala,
I tried your recipes it was very nice.
why r u removing skin before using tomatos?????any taste different??
Thank you for visiting my site and your comment.
Yes. There is taste difference between using tomatos with skin and without skin. To get a smooth flow of the kotsu, we are using only the tomato puree. You can also use tinned readymade tomato puree for this recipe.
