Coolio chica, I’m gonna try this one, cos I am totally over-run with tommies and it sound delicious, and I am running out of ideas! I have been making tommy chutney for the last three weeks every day! I think I planted too many tomatoes! I’ve read some of the posts and surprised that everyone seems to be using oil, I don’t use it at all in my chutneys/picles as I view it as just a heat quickening fuel that just adds fat where not needed But maybe I’m just being arsey! Sorry!I will keep you posted as to how I go! Great pics by the way! x

thanku for the immediate response, Shilpa. I was dumping salt from the dabba and it accidentally fell out!!!!!! My bad!
This is my first pickling experiance ever and it tastes really yum but can’t have too much because of the salt.
I hate store-boughtpickles because of it high salt content and now look what i ‘ve done. I added a few more tomato pices this morn. Hope it helps!!!!!!!!
Thanku for sharing this recipe, Shilpa!

Hi Shilpa,
I tried out ur tomato pickle y’day night. But one prob………Its too salty. I immediately added 5 tsps of sugar to balance the taste but no use….is there anything I can do to remove the saltiness?
Pls help!

Shilpa: Usually saltiness reduces as time passes. How much salt did you use?

tomatoe pickle is really great, i had a nepali friend who lived here in the Philippines for more than a year to study his Doctor;s Degree, whenever we had a group study we used to stay in their house and he cooked for us common nepali foods including tomatoe pickle! My! i love it so much, it tasted really good, that i come to the point of learning how to cook it myself!

Yours is quiet more yummy, some ingredients u added is not present with his. I will surely try it at home.

keep posting ok!

have a safe trip to india and enjoy
