ABOUT Easy Tomato Pickle RECIPE

An easy and a mouthwatering pickle recipe from my grandmother's chest of goodies. It is a yummy side dish or an accompaniment to the boring meals. This can be made when tomatoes are in season and relished with simple boiled rice, ghee and poppadoms. Made instantly and without the long process of sun drying involved in the traditional method. It also stays fresh for almost a fortnight and a little more when stored in the refrigerator.

Ingredients Serving: 6

Ripe tomatoes 1 kg
Red chilli powder 3-4 tbsp
Salt 1 tbsp
Garlic cloves, chopped 5-6
Oil 1 tbsp
For Dry Roasting : Fenugreek seeds 1 tbsp
Black mustard seeds 1 tbsp
cumin seeds 1 tbsp
For The Tempering : Dry red chilies 4
cumin seeds 1 tbsp
Curry leaves a few
Oil 1/2 cup

Instructions

Wash the tomatoes, pat dry and chop fine.
In a pot, heat the oil and add the chopped garlic. After half a minute of sauteing, add the tomatoes. Cover and cook on high flame.
Keep checking and stirring in between. After about 10 mins, the tomatoes would have become tender.
Switch off the flame and add the red chilli powder and the salt. Mix well and blend it.
Dry roast the ingredients listed for just a minute and add powder them. Add the powder to the blended pickle.
Keep the tempering ready for mixing but not before cooling it.
Add the tempering, that has been brought to the room temperature, to the pickle and mix well. Oil can be adjusted accordingly. If needed, more smoked oil can be added to it after a few days if desired but it should be brought to room temperature before mixing.
This pickle stays fresh up to 20 days in the refrigerator. Serve with meals.
