Tomato Pickle

• Rich, tangy, and bursting with flavor — Andaal Home Foods’ Tomato Pickle is a true Andhra delight that turns any meal into a spicy, satisfying experience. Made from sun-ripened local tomatoes, hand-ground spices, and cold-pressed gingelly oil, this pachadi captures the bold essence of Telugu home cooking.

  In Andhra homes, Tomato Pickle isn’t just a condiment — it’s comfort in a jar. Whether paired with hot rice, ghee, and papad, or served as a side with dosa or idli, its vibrant taste and deep red color instantly awaken the appetite.

  At Andaal Home Foods, we craft our Tomato Pickle following Andaal’s time-tested family recipe — no shortcuts, no preservatives, and no artificial colors. Ripe tomatoes are washed, chopped, and slow-cooked until their natural tang intensifies. They’re then blended with roasted mustard, cumin, fenugreek, and fiery red chilli powder — all hand-ground for authentic aroma. Finally, everything is simmered gently in cold-pressed gingelly oil, sealing in flavor and giving the pickle its iconic sheen and shelf life.

  Each jar is made in small batches, allowing the flavors to mature naturally over days, not hours. The result is a thick, glossy, deeply spiced pickle that balances tanginess, heat, and earthy richness in perfect harmony.

  Unlike commercial pickles loaded with vinegar and chemicals, Andaal’s Tomato Pickle is naturally preserved — just like how Telugu mothers have been making it for generations. It’s fresh, bold, and made with the same love Andaal once poured into her kitchen every morning.
