    Tomato Thokku Recipe | Thakkali Thokku | How to make Thakkali Thokku with step by step pictures. Tomato thokku is an excellent fix for Idli. I usually prepare thakkali thokku during Sundays as it takes a little more time. I will refrigerate for 4-5 days and it keeps really good. Use a iron kadai or a heavy bottomed pan to cook as it need to get cooked till thick.  

    I already have another version of tomato thokku in blog but that method is without grinding the tomato and I find this method of grinding the tomato easy and tasty comparatively. Now lets see how to prepare tomato thokku. Similar Recipes: Coriander Thokku

    Ingredients 

    Tomato - Choose any juice variety tomatoes for thokku. I prefer the local tomatoes over the Bangalore variety as they are juicier. But you can use both based on availability. Avoid cherry tomato or any other small tomato variety.

    Sesame Oil - Be it any pickle or relish close your eyes and blindly go for gingelly oil or sesame oil. It helps in improving the shelf like of the pickle. Also, it plays a major role in taste.

    GARLIC , CURRY LEAVES - We use both garlic pods and curry leaves for flavor. You may also skip them if you do not prefer.

    Hing - Hing gives a awesome flavor , I highly recommend adding. but of you prefer a gluten free version you may skip adding.

    Spice Powder - Just the basic spice powders goes in to the thokku. We add chili powder, Turmeric powder

    Jaggery - Always adding a small piece of jaggery balance the taste and bring in the best flavors. You can also add sugar for the same reason.

    1.Puree the tomato without adding water and set aside.

    2. Heat a heavy bottomed pan with seame oil.

    3. Once the oil is hot add mustard seeds and cumin seeds let them splutter and then add in the Channa Dal fry till golden and then add in the hing and curry leaves.
