Ingredients:
  1. Cherry tomatoes - 2 lbs
  2. Green chillies - 10 cut into big pieces
  3. Garlic - 1 pod peeled and sliced if the cloves are big
  4. Ginger - 1 inch piece chopped
  5. curry leaves - 2 springs

  10. Methi seeds - 1/2 tsp
  11. Oil - 5 tbsp
  12. Vinegar - 2 tbsp
  13. Sugar - 1 tbsp
  14. Salt - to taste
    Method:
    Wash drain and cut the cherry tomatoes into half.
    Heat oil in a pan and splutter the mustard and methi seeds.
    Add in the ginger , garlic, green chillies and curry leaves and saute for 5 minutes.
    Add in the hing,chilly powder, turmeric powder,salt and sugar and saute for a minute.
    Add in the chopped tomatoes and stir fry until some of the tomatoes start to fall apart..
    Turn the flame off and let cool.
    Store in refrigerator.
    If you want the pickle to last longer cook it until it looses the water content and becomes thick.I prefer to have the tomatoes in chunks and so I don't cook it for too long.
