2 lbs. tomatoes

Method:
Slice the tomaotes, spread turmeric and salt on them and soak them in 1
cup vinegar. Leave for about 2 hours. Grind together garlic, ginger, red
chillies and 3/4 of the mustard, with a little vinegar. Heat the oil, add
the remaining mustard. When the mustard splutters, add fenugreek. Fry for
2 minutes and add the ground paste and fry again for 20 minutes. Add tomatoes
