This flavorful tangy and spicy pickle from Andhra Pradesh (in South India) is so tasty it can be eaten with just plain rice with a spoon of ghee and also with any Indian breakfasts such as dosas , Idli ,Upma etc…
Ingredients :-
Tomato- 1 Kg
Tamarind- 50 gm
Dry red chilli- 5
Mustard seeds powder – 1 tbsp
Methi seeds Powder – ½ tbsp
Red Chilli Powder - 75 gms
Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
Salt- 2 tsp
For tempering
Oil- 100 gms
Garlic- 100 gms
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tbsp

Chop the tomato into big cubes.
Add salt, tamarind, and let it stand in the bowl for 1 day (in shade).
Day 2
1) Dry roast mustard seeds, cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds and powder them separately.
