    Andhra-style tomato garlic oorugai is a flavorful pickle with a bold mix of tangy tomatoes, pungent garlic, and aromatic spices. It's a staple in many South Indian households, adding a burst of taste to simple meals like rice and dal.

    Can I skip steaming the tomato and tamarind?

    Steam-cooked tomatoes help with faster cooking. If you are planning to skip this step, saute tomatoes till they turn mushy, then prepare thakkali thokku

    Why garlic twice for guntur pickle?

    I like the biting garlic in pickle, also ground pickle gives a nice flavor. You can use garlic the way you want. can skip, but garlic gives a nice flavor, so I would recommend.

    Why Kashmiri chilli powder for the south Indian pickle variety?

    Kashmiri chilli powder gives an amazing color to the thakkali oorugai. Kashmiri chilli powder is not as spicy as regular chilli powder. Adjust the chilli powder according to your taste.

    Can I reduce oil?

    Traditionally, more oil is used. I have reduced oil for homestyle Andhra tomato garlic pickle. For the best pickle taste, I would recommend the quantity of oil mentioned in the post. You can reduce the oil, but the tomato pickle taste might vary accordingly.

    Shelf life of garlic tomato pickle?

    It stays good for weeks. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container. Always use a clean, dry spoon.
