Tomato Uragaya is a typical Andhra Style Tomato Pickle, that is made frequently during summer, using the excess bounty of tomatoes we get. This pickle is supposed to be very spicy, but we made it using only half of the amount of red chili powder, though it is still very delicious and can be used as a side dish for dosas or any tiffin.
I remember years back when we used to make pickles very frequently. However, now we no longer make it so often or it gets consumed much. We still have a bottle stocked most of the time. This is one such pickle that I try to stock as it makes a great side dish for tiffins.
Try this and you will love it.

A mouth watering tomato pickle. Some years back when I was staying in Bangalore my neighbour would always give me some of this pickle. It was very chilli but good with rice, rotis etc. I think I shall make it but definitely with less chilli powder 🙂
