Note

✍️Buy only ripe tomatoes.i have used Bangalore(apple) tomatoes,even country Tomatoes can be used.
✍️While pressure cooking donot add too much water.(I cook the tomatoes in pressure cooker as it's easy and moreover the skin also dissolves quickly).
✍️I like to add sugar to the GOTHSU while eating, it will taste superb.kids will surely like it.
