Tomato Pickle/ Tomato Nonche

I need to seriously update this section of the space. This pickle recipe was passed to us by our neighbour decades back. It was shared to them by their relative who got the recipe from her Andhra neighbour when she was in Andhra. I suddenly remembered about this pickle and searched in my F.b album and I found this picture along with the roughly typed recipe and I thought of sharing it in the space. As of now I am having only this picture . I will update with new pictures when I prepare the pickle.
