Thakkali Vengaya thokku (Tomato & Onion thokku) - Preparation time 20 to 25 minutes
Annaivarukkum Thamizh Puthandu Vazhthukkal.
This i tasted when i went to temple with my mom's friend. She brought breakfast for us. She also told that my husband will scold on seeing the amount of oil used for making this thokku. It was tasty and spicy so i asked her the recipe to make so that i can try on my own with less oil :-). I also took input from person who is helping me in my household work. I tried my own way of making the thokku and making it little more innovative (by including health vegetables and spices). You can also try including items without excluding the basic items i.e. tomato, onion, fenugreek seed powder, cumin seed powder & coriander seed powder.
Ingredients
Onion - 1 (very finely chopped)
Tomato - 3 to 4 (Take a mix of sweet and sour tomato i.e. nattu thakkali & bangalore thakkali. only if available else you can use available type)
Ginger - half inch (finely chopped one tsp)
Garlic - 7 to 8 (finely chopped)
Coriander powder - 1 tbsp
Cumin powder - 1 tbsp
Fenugreek powder - 1/2 tsp
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Chili powder - 1 tbsp (you can alter according to your taste)
Tamarind paste - 1/4 tsp
Salt - to taste
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Sesame oil - To cook onion and tomato. 6 to 10 tbsp
Curry leaves - 10
Preparation method:-
In a kadai heat oil. Add mustard to splutter. In a slow flame include ginger, garlic, onion, little salt and fry till onion is cooked.
Now add the spice powders -Chili, turmeric, coriander, cumin & fenugreek. Fry slightly and add tomato and cook till the oil separates out.
Finally add the tamarind paste, curry leaves and cook till the raw smell goes off.
If you want you can add little more oil and some roasted fenugreek powder after switching off the flame. The smell of fenugreek will remain.
This will be in thick paste consistency. Goes very well with dosai, idli and chapathi. As we used it will stay for few days. If you are using less oil refrigerate and use of few days.
If you are carrying during travel take care else too much oil might spell out.
