Green Tomato Pickle Recipe - Tomato Aavakaaya Recipe

I was searching for green tomatoes in my place for quite a long time. I had lots of recipe ideas on my head using green tomatoes. Since i couldn't get my hands on those, those recipes were pending.

Finally few days back when i went to my mom's place, she handed me few green tomatoes which she bought from her veggie shop. I was happy to see those and immediately made these pickles.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
