Andhra tomato pickle

I should say this is one of my favorite all time pickle . Moms homemade recepie .
Right from the childhood I always asked my mom to make and refill the jars once it's over .
You can store these pickle for nearly 3 months but it always lasted for me for days. As I can
Eat it with idli , dosa, chapthi , poori and also rice .
They are real deleeeeciouus and yummmmyyyy...

Here is my moms authentic recepie ...

5  - garlic cloves
2 -  strings of curry leaves

To temper

1- string curry leaves

Method :-

First fry  chillies and coriander in a heat pan and roast
Well till there comes a good aroma and it shouldn't be darkened .
And chill them before they go into the blender . Meanwhile ,
Now roast the fenugreek seed for a while until it's dark brown in
Medium heat. Remove it and Chill it too .
