Hello world,
This is Deepa,
This is my first blog. Hope that you ll like this.
When we talk about Happiness, we think about staying happy all the time. We try to pursue this constant state of HAPPINESS as our goal or aim of life.
But what is the meaning of really Happiness. It may be Food. Because whenever we are in happy moment we celebrate the time with food , by making our self or going outside. But when we are upset at that time also if we get our favorite food in front of us, our mind become changed. We forget our tension and give concentrate to food. So it is the food that makes us Happy 😉.
So Lets start with my first recipe- 'TOMATO PICKLE"
Ingredients-
- Tomato- 1 kg, washed and quarted
- Tamarind - 1 lemon size balled
- Red Chili Powder- 2-3 tbsp (according to your need)
- Mustard seed- 1 tbsp
- Bengal(Chona) Dal- 3 tbsp
- Dry Red chili
- Hing- 2 pinches
- Curry leaves
- Salt
- Mustard Oil - 4 cup
Method
- In a wide non stick pan , in medium heat pour little oil and then add chopped tomatoes and tamarind and salt at a time and cover with lid. Let the tomatoes gradually mash and cook on its own water. It would take 2-25 minutes and stir in between so that it ll not get stick in pan.
- Once the tomatoes are simmered or cooked switch off the gas and let them leave for getting cool.
- Now put the things in a mixer and grind.
- In another pan take oil 2 cup after that add some dry chili, Mustard seeds, Hing, curry leaves and chana dal. Mix them well and pour the tomato paste then again mix.
- Add chili powder according to taste or need and continues mix the paste.
- When tomatoes extract oil from it. Mix well and cook it for 5 min more. Switch off the gas and let it cool down. Pickle is ready now.
- Store in an air tight container.
Tips
- Make sure to use fresh seedless tamarind instead of paste.
- Use fresh juicy tomatoes.
- Make sure to dry up the water completely from the pickel.
- Always use a clean dry spoon, never use finger or a wet spoon to ensure long life of the pickle
