Yes, you can. Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, whole spices, and water in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until everything is very soft. Then proceed with blending and straining as directed.
If your ketchup isn't thickening, it likely needs to be simmered for a longer time to allow more water to evaporate. Continue cooking on medium-low heat, stirring often, until it reaches the desired consistency. Remember it will also thicken more as it cools.
