tomato thokku recipe with step by step photos. i remember having readymade mango thokku a couple of times before. never had tomato thokku. so decided to prepare it.

tomato thokku is a simple and easy recipe and i finished making it pretty soon. you can serve it a side condiment with any south indian meal. it also tasted great with the chana dal khichdi, that i had made. you could have tomato thokku with idli, dosa or even just plain bread or plain boiled rice.

generally thokkus are made in large quantities, but i have made this tomato thokku recipe to go for some 3 to 4 days. increase the ratio of ingredients proportionately, if you want to last it for weeks or months. tomato thokku can be stored in the refrigerator for nearly 2 to 3 weeks time. if you want to serve for a long time, just add some more oil in the recipe.

if you are looking for more south indian recipes then do check masala dosa, poha idli. rava dosa, quick vegetable sambar, rasam, medu vada, tomato sambar and uttapam recipe.
