I made some thakkali thokku for breakfast today and it really comes handy when I’m specially not in a mood to make elaborate side dishes. We can make this in a large scale and preserve. Watch this video to make it:
You can easily serve this tomato thokku with some plain parathas, uttapams, dosa, idli etc. I’m going to have a busy day, so sharing this simple recipe for thakkali thokku. You can even try this tomato chutney from my blog.
