Hey Indira, my hubby has asked me to make tomoto pachhadi and u posted about it. I’ll be looking forward for the recipe then… though i’m a regular visitor to ur site, and i spent hours exploring the mouthwatering recipes, i didn’t leave a comment that often. BTW me n my hubby both are from Rayalaseema, so we are very fond of all ur recipes. My Hubby is from Nandyala n me from Anantapur.

Came over from Terristurf. Totally impressed. Am not quite sure which I like best – your recipes, photos or description.
Makes me sorta regret I am not in Seattle to barge in on those delicacies.

Hi Indira,
I have been a HUGE fan of your website though this is the first time I am writing in. I think you’re very innovative and have a true talent when it comes to cooking.
Would you be able to suggest some dishes that helps to cool your body down in this hot summer weather?
Thank you

Those tomatoes are indeed a work of art — on the vine and in the jar 🙂

Could you also post the recipe please.
Comment by Sree — July 14, 2007 @ 9:34 am
Hi Indira, this looks so lovely! My mum makes something that looks very similar, which she learned from a sweet and talented servant girl who used to work in our house. Her recipe has onions, ginger, garlic, chili powder, salt, and sugar. But we don’t bottle it — we just make a little and eat it as a side dish with our meal. I’ll be interested to compare your recipe if you do decide to post it, and will definitely try it out if it’s different from my mum’s!

Comment by padma — July 14, 2007 @ 6:01 pm
O, I was just today thinking of looking for a recipe to make a good tomato sauce. This is perrfect!
Comment by Inji Pennu — July 14, 2007 @ 7:07 pm
Look forward to the recipe…Andhra pickles are my most fav kind – I’ve been making the Andhra mango-garlic pickle forever. The other favourite ones are this tomato one, chilli pickle, and the ginger one (the sweet kind)…hopefully I’ll find all the recipes here eventually.
Comment by Anita — July 16, 2007 @ 9:36 am
Dear Indira,
Another picture-perfect post. The tomatoes look really red and luscious. I am going to try the pachchadi soon. It is quite different and interesting from what we make at home.
