How to output list of products pertaining to the appropriate category(specified by me) on home page?

The code below outputs products of choose by link category:
{foreach from=$products item=product name=type}
....
{/foreach}

I need to choose category manually by id or name of category

Could you give an example code on the smarty?

Thanks!

I’m interested in how to output specific category content without any modules. Exactly, which code to insert before
{foreach from=$products item=product name=type}
to indicate from which category outputs products.
