Ripe tomatoes are slow-cooked in cold-pressed peanut oil until all moisture is fully removed. This concentrates the flavour, extends shelf life naturally, and gives the pickle its deep, rich taste - very different from raw tomato versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow long does it stay fresh once opened?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e3-4 months stored in a cool, dry place with a dry spoon. Tomato pickle has a shorter shelf life than mango or amla pickle because of the higher moisture content in tomatoes - but it rarely lasts that long once opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eDoes it contain garlic?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eYes, fresh garlic is one of the key ingredients. It adds depth and the classic Andhra spice character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eHow spicy is it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eIt carries a good Andhra heat - bold but not overwhelming. The natural sweetness of ripe tomatoes balances the Guntur chilli well. If you enjoy Andhra-style pickles, the spice level will feel right at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eWhat can I eat it with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eHot rice with ghee is the classic. It also works beautifully as a dosa spread, a side with idli or upma, mixed into curd rice, or spread on chapati and paratha. Some people even use it as a sandwich spread - it works surprisingly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5; padding: 12px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; cursor: pointer;\"\u003eDoes it contain any artificial preservatives?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 8px; font-size: 13px; color: #555; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eNone. The slow-cooking process removes all moisture from the tomatoes, which is what preserves this pickle naturally - no sodium benzoate, no artificial additives of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nirmala's Home Kitchen","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":44819940966509,"sku":"10002-1","price":239.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":44819940999277,"sku":"10002-2","price":449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":44819941032045,"sku":"10002-3","price":849.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/5624\/8429\/files\/Tomato_pickle_packaging.webp?v=1774445060","url":"https:\/\/nirmalashomekitchen.com\/products\/tomato-pachadi-andhra-spicy-tomato-pickle","provider":"Nirmala's Home Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
