The labels on the jar describe the ingredients and the type of preparation:

• టమోటా తొక్కు (Tomato Thokku): This is the main product—a thick, concentrated tomato pickle or relish.
• తెల్ల గడ్డతో (With Garlic): This indicates that garlic has been added for extra flavor and aroma.
• పల్లీల నూనె తో (With Peanut Oil): This specifies that the pickle was prepared using peanut (groundnut) oil, which is traditional in many Telugu households for its rich, nutty taste.

Appearance & Packaging

• Container: A simple, transparent square plastic jar with a brown screw-cap lid, typical for artisanal or home-based food businesses.
• Texture: The contents appear dark red and dense, which is characteristic of thokku where tomatoes are cooked down until the moisture evaporates and the oil separates.
• Labels: Three individual white stickers with red borders and red text, applied manually to the front of the jar.
