We love Mexican foods and whenever time permits we dont hesitate a second to invite ourselves to our favourite Mexican restaurant. Obviously if i get a chance to try my hands with one of my favourite cuisine, how can i say 'no'. When i picked One sauce Two dishes as theme for this week's blogging marathon, i want to give a try to this famous Enchilada sauce. Though we get tortillas and few more Mexican ingredients easily in most of provisional stores, we dont get this enchilada sauce easily. When i googled for this sauce, i found that this sauce was very easy to make simply at home with easily available ingredients. Homemade Enchilada Sauce is amazing and very easy to prepare.
Enchilada sauce do exists as two versions, red enchilada sauce with tomato sauce and green enchilada sauce. I went with the Red enchilada sauce which calls for tomato sauce. Traditionally Enchilada sauce is prepared with Pasilla chillies, available in Mexican grocery stores, since its quite a hard task for me i went simply with both tomato and chilly powder, which replace very well this Mexican chillies. This sauce makes excellent filling or as topping or else as condiment in many delicious Mexican dishes, and i prepared two different delicious dishes out of this incredible sauce. We simply enjoyed our food as we were craving for some Mexican dishes.
1large Canned tomato sauce
1cup Vegetable broth
2tbsp Flour
3tbsp Chilly powder
2tsp Cumin powder
1tbsp Garlic (minced)

Heat the oil in a pan, add the flour, chilly powder and stir.
Cook for a while, meanwhile take the tomato sauce, vegetable broth, cumin powder, minced garlic,onion powder, salt in an another bowl, mix everything well.
Now add this sauce to the flour-chilly powder mixture.
Cook in medium flame until the mixture turns thick.
Put off the stove and let it cool completely.
Conserve them in an air tightned bottle and use per need.
