Dried Tomato Paste

Although the photograph of the Dried Tomato Paste from page 506 isn't much to look at, I felt it was important to include in my blog. The dark color of the paste is because the tomatoes are dried and therefore they are very flavorful. Tomatoes aggravate all 3 doshas because of their high acid content but dried tomatoes are much less acidic than fresh ones. So with this recipe I'm able to make tomato paste to replace canned tomato paste and be kinder to my tummy.
