    Can I skip steam cook?

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

    Crushing garlic

    I like the texture of crushed garlic in tomato garlic pickle. you can also fine or roughly chop garlic.

    Why Kashmiri chilli powder for the south Indian pickle variety?

    Kashmiri chilli powder gives 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?

    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 tomato pickle?

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