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 a long time if stored in the freezer. You can double or tripe this recipe or even reduce it to half according to your needs and make. The best part is that it stays good upto 20 days in the refrigerator. Also use a dry and clean spoon always as a precautionary measure to avoid it from getting spoilt. Happy Pickling!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
