It was only after I followed the recipe that I discovered in the comments here that water needed to be added to the sauce. Thankfully, I had already added sufficient water to get the sauce right. It''s a quick, easy and tasty recipe but please make the correction so less experienced cooks don''t make a mistake and miss out enjoying the recipe as much as I did.

The sauce in the recipe looks quite liquidy. Do we need to add water while cooking it? 2tbsp of ketchup will not make it so liquidy. Please advise.
Edited after original posting.
