    What is Thokku

    Tokku is like a pickle that is usually made with grated vegetables. In pickles usually we use big chunks or pieces of vegetables. We always cook the thooku until the spread or paste consistency.

    It may also be considered as a dry chutney or pickle.

    Kothamalli Thokku

    Kothamalli thokku is prepared from Cilantro leaves or Coriander leaves. Cilantro is very good for digestion and has various health benefits. When prepared as a thokku it tastes even better and makes a delicious accompaniment.

    We use sesame oil in preparing the thokku . It helps in a longer shelf life and increases the taste as well.

    How to Prepare Kothamalli Thokku:

     In a pan dry roast the chilli and fenugreek seeds till they slightly turn colour. Allow it to cool down and blend them to a coarse powder.

    dry roast the chilli and fenugreek seeds till they slightly turn colour.
