Green Tomato Pickle

Tomatoes are grown abundantly everywhere in the world. This also could be that I consider myself one of the luckiest one alive, if I am; in a place where tomatoes are available around the year. The only difference is, its real season or not. If its not its season then price of this fruit is higher but if its season then juicy and succulent fruit is always available within your budget range. Whatever the case, there is no doubt it's available around the year. One thing I must tell you you can’t find unripe tomato in the market around the year like we can find the juicy ripe ones anywhere in vegetables market, although it's a fruit.

This fresh and seasonal pickle and can be served very little in quantity for each person who is on the table to eat rice.Because it is abundantly available, it will be no doubt there is a  recipe of a pickle of this fruit. Tomato pickles and Nepali food is so interlinked, it's hard to separate it from one another it's part of our food culture here in Nepal.
