Popcorn

Roasted nuts

Nachos or chips

✅ Pro Tip: Add a touch of sugar to mimic that classic tomato ketchup flavor!

🍲 2. Instant Tomato Soup Base
Craving tomato soup but no time (or tomatoes)? Mix tomato powder with warm water, a dash of pepper, and a swirl of cream or butter.

Add-ons:

Croutons

Basil

A spoon of pasta or rice for a hearty bowl

You can even stir it into ready-made soups for a flavor upgrade.

Tomato powder adds depth, tang, and natural color to vegetarian or meat patties.

Mix it into:

Hara bhara kebabs

Soya chaap tikkis

Chicken or lamb kebabs

Aloo tikki or burger patties

It binds well and boosts taste without watering down the mix.

🍝 4. Quick Pasta Sauce or Pizza Base

Use it to:

Spread on bread for quick bruschetta

Toss into cooked pasta

Layer in lasagna or enchiladas

All the richness of slow-cooked tomatoes—ready in minutes.
