• Dry roast the mustard seeds(1 tsp) and fenugreek seeds nicely. Be careful not to get it burnt.

• If you can grind this in a mixie. Since it is a small quantity i used a mortar and pestel to grind this.
• In a heavy bottomed pan add sesame oil and add mustard sees (1/4 tsp) and add the garlic pods.
• Cook in a low flame till the garlic slightly changes the colour.

• Add the chopped tomato to this. Cover this and cook for 10 minutes. The tomaotes will ooze out water, so no need to add water. But keep the flame medium.

• Soak the tamarind and extract the tamrind juice using 3/4 cup of water. After 10 minutes add the tamarind water to this.

• Add the red chili powder, turmeric powder and salt. Cook this till the raw smell of the red chili powder goes.

• Add the roasted mustard and vendaya powder to this. Mix well.

• Add little jaggery to this. Mix well and continue to cook till the tomato reaches the pickle consistency.

• Once it reaches the right stage, switch off the flame. Allow this to cool completely.

• Transfer it to a clean dry container and keep it inside the refrigerator. A perfect side dish for Parathas, roti and curd rice too.
