  It's Indian sesame oil. Unlike Chinese sesame oil, it is cold pressed, so the taste is nicer

Can you please mention the measuring cup, measuring spoon etc. Instead of just large tomatoes etc.
Large, medium etc ‘s are relatively. According to you it may be a 3” diameter is large. But some people it may be 4” . So can you please send me the measurements for tomatoes chutany?

I like the tomatoes chutaney. Once it turned out excellent but now I cannot make same as 1st time.
Can you please have measurements in a cup and teaspoons tablespoons because large and small or medium could be in 2” diameter or any size…
