Instant tomato pickle, Tomato pachadi, Thakkali urugai

Instant tomato pickle/ Tomato pachadi/ Tomato achar is a bright red colored spicy and flavorful pickle that can be easily made at home with available ingredients. It might confuse you guys why did I suddenly make pickle, but I was compelled to make as I had too much harvest of cherry tomatoes from my patio garden which I preferred to utilize it in one go. Tomato pickle is one such quick variety of pickle that tastes very good with hot rice, idli, dosa, roti and uttapam too. Yes instead of a chutney on a busy day this pickle can be replaced as side dish for many of your main course. For the below recipe I used cherry tomatoes which can be replaced with any overripe or just ripe tomatoes as the taste will remain same but the tanginess may differ. So if you are using overripe tomatoes use less amount of tamarind and more chilli powder to match the taste. For the tempering i used little extra quantity of oil because the quantity of oil will only increase the shelf life of pickle. So lets get to the making!
