Tomato Thokku

Wow! this is another delicious dish. I am a great fan of tomato thokku. You could have this thokku with idly, dosa, plain boiled rice.

My mother in law used to make many varieties of thokku. It has a piquant taste whenever she prepares it.

I could say is one of her best for sure. She always prefers country tomato for all the tomato recipe as it gives rich taste to any dish you do with tomato.

I think this dish will definitely make your taste buds cheer.

Ok let’s start the preparation.
