Homemade Naga Jolokia Salsa Recipe

This recipe is simple to make and tastes better than restaurant salsas.

1       28 ounce can whole tomatoes drained
1/2    large brown onion (diced)
1/4    cup of chopped cilantro (loose)
1       tablespoon sugar
1/4    tablespoon sea salt
1/4    tablespoon cumin
1/8    tablespoon naga jolokia powder

Add all of the ingredients to the blender and chop/pulse to desired consistency. This picture below was 7 pulses for 1 second each. This salsa is very spicy so you may want to adjust the naga jolokia powder as necessary.
