Tomato preparation
Take 500g of tomatoes for that recipe. Turn on your gas stove to a low flame. Place a small-sized grill on the flame and place your tomatoes on top of the grill, allowing them to char. Rotate the tomatoes to ensure they do not burn completely. After charring, peel off the outer skin and roughly chop them.
Cooking
- Take a pan and add 1 cup of mustard oil. Heat the oil until it is just before reaching the smoking point.
- Then add 1 tsp. of mustard seeds, 1 tsp. of fenugreek seeds, and stir it over low flame to prevent the seeds from burning. Add some cloves, but not too many.
- Next, add 3 medium-sized garlic cloves. Stir until they become slightly brown, and then add 1 medium-sized onion roughly chopped.
- After some time of stirring, add your prepared tomatoes once the onions have slightly browned. Stir the tomatoes well.
- Add 1 tbsp. of red chili powder and 1 tsp. of turmeric powder. You don’t need to add water because the tomatoes will release enough moisture.
- Add some salt as required.
- Next, pour 1 cup of vinegar to add sourness. Also, add 1 tsp. of sugar to create a balance of sweetness and sourness.
- Finally, add your prepared spices.
The tomato pickle is ready to serve. You can enjoy it with Biryani, Bread, or Rice.
