Ingredients
3
tomatoes
1
head of garlic
5-6
tsp
olive oil
½
tsp
salt (may need more)
1
tsp
sugar
½
tsp
chilli powder
Instructions
Pre heat the oven at 200 deg C.
Score the skin of the tomatoes, vertically ( do not run the knife deep, just lightly score). Place in an oven safe bowl.
Rub 2-3 tsp of olive oil and the ½ tsp salt all over the tomatoes.
Cut the head of garlic in half horizontally and place on a piece of foil big enough to be able to wrap it.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the garlic halves. Wrap the foil around them and seal to form a parcel.
Place the garlic parcel along with the tomatoes in the baking pan.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or till the tomatoes are tender.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a blender. (If your blender cannot handle very hot ingredients, cool the tomatoes and garlic).
Unwrap the garlic parcel and squeeze out the roasted garlic into the blender.
Add the chilli powder and sugar.
Blend everything to a puree.
Check the salt and add more if necessary. See notes below.
Let the dip come to room temperature before serving as an accompaniment to savoury snacks or dumplings.

Notes
Check the heat level of the dip; if you like it spicier, mix in a little more chilli powder.
