This is an Indian-inspired tomato relish or pickle, that is very different from pickles in the West. The amount of oil used here might appear huge but traditionally, Indian pickles use a large quantity of oil to aid in the food preservation process and concentrate the flavors. You need enough oil to cover the tomatoes in the jar. However when serving the relish, you can drain some of the oil out.
