So one sunday asusual when we were watching tv, my hubby insisted me to help him to make this tomato pickle. And whoever dont like tasting food that taste entirly different from what we make? So quickly noded my head and within a sec we were in kitchen. Its really nice to have somone help us at the time of cooking right and why not specially with loving hubby :)hehe. The taste was just out of this world and I drool like having a bowl of curd rice on that movment. But that was our dinner time so we satistifed having spicy pickle with hot ghee roast dosa.
