Tomato Pickle / Thakkali Thokku
Cook Time :60 Min | Servings : 2 Persons
Tomato Thokku is many of our favorites and this is a tamilnadu style thokku. The moment we get remained it’s mouth watering and tempts everyone. What does not go with this should be the question ? It is the best combo for idili, dosa, Chapathi, rice, curd rice, bread spread or anything matches with this. Best part is it can be prepared in bulk and can be stored.
Thakali thokku should be kept in any Air tight container and refrigerating increases it’s stay period. This can stay upto 15 days if it’s carefully sealed and used dry spoon to take it out.
