  1. Thank you for sharing and appreciate your effort to explain in detail. I tried this recipe. Came out perfectly5 stars

  2. Hi Dassana,
    Awesome recipe.. tried n turned out very good..tried veg pizza n my daughter loved it so much.. thanks a lot for the wonderful recipes.. I tried a couple of recipes from your website and all of them turned out very yum…banana bread, Black Forest cake, pizza, are some of my family favorites..

    Wanted to know if Pizza Sauce is good to freeze..If so how can I freeze and how long will it stay fresh.. I had lot of tomatoes, fresh basil n oregano in my garden ..wanted to make pizza sauce..Thanks in advance?

    1. Hi Sree, thanks a lot for letting me know and for sharing the positive feedback on the recipes. I make pizza sauce in bulk and freeze it. This recipe can be scaled up. The pizza sauce stays good for a couple of months. Same here, sometimes I have too many tomatoes, basil and I end up making pizza sauce as it is the easiest to make. I also make marinara sauce and I will share the recipe in some time. Welcome and happy cooking.

  3. amazing…Tried it out today…wonderful!
    by the way i live in chennai and none of the stores sell fresh basil…how do you grow them at home?
    thanks again for the recipe!!5 stars

    1. thanks radhika. basil can be grown from seeds just like the way tulsi can be grown from seeds. both are from same family of herbs. alternatively you can use dried basil which will be available in stores. basil seeds will be available in a plant nursery shop or even online.

  4. Had tried this recipe earlier. Tastes really like ready-made sauce. Kids just loved it. Thanks a lot.5 stars

  5. Hi dear.. what can be used to replace basil leaves? I don’t get basil leaves at my place… also can sunflower oil be used in place of olive oil? Thank you in advance.

    1. aarthi, skip basil leaves. also sunflower oil can be used. dried basil leaves are easily available online on amazon.in
      so you can order them if you want. dried basil leaves stay good for a year if refrigerated.

  6. can I use extra virgin olive oil in this recipe. Also we don’t get basil here can I skip it or use anything else on its place

  7. Hey,
    Can we add marjoram (marwa) leaves instead of basil leaves to the sauce?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks in advance! 🙂

  8. Tomatoes are sautaed on a high flame please help and also can i skip basil as i have Italian seasoning can i add chilli flakes too?

    1. sindhu, tomatoes are sautéed on a low to medium flame. i will update in the post also. if you are using italian seasoning, you can skip basil leaves. yes you can add red chili flakes.

    1. no chandni. basil leaves and tulsi are different. both belong to the same plant family. tulsi is also called as holy basil. in basil leaves, there are some varieties that are available like italian basil, thai basil etc. this recipe uses italian basil.

        1. chandni, try getting dried basil online. without basil some flavour will be missing. so i would not suggest to skip it. you will get them at amazon.in

  9. Wonderful n easy sauce recipe. Are the Basil leaves used here are from the plant used to obtain sabja seeds? Also what is Indian name of oregano?

    1. thanks bella. the basil leaves used here are not from sabja plant. though you can use the sabja plant leaves too. but just add them in lesser amounts as they are very strongly aromatic. oregano is similar to ajwain or carom seeds that we use in indian cuisine. but both have different aromatic qualities. i did search online and came to know that oregano is called as sathra in hindi. this is a new name for me too 🙂

  10. Amazing recipe! This is the second time I’m making this recipe. Never buying store bought pizza sauce again! But for an extra kick, this time I added about 1/4 of a cup of Sriracha. Super good!

  11. Hi dassana. Last week I tried your recipe of banana walnut cake without the eggs. It came out so good. Everyone loved it. Thank you so much. I really liked the recipes and the way you present them. Keep it up and thank you once again.4 stars

    1. i use philips 18 litre OTG. but this model is no longer available in the market. you can buy any good brand of OTG. do check online reviews before you invest in one.
