Spicy tomato onion recipe with detailed video recipe. Spicy, tangy tomato based gravy which can be used as side dish for streaming rice, idli or dosa and even for roti and chapathi. It is typically prepared with ripped and juicy tomatoes. This recipe is shared by grand mother . I have prepared exactly the way she prepares it. She used to prepare it as a side dish for rasam and rice combination. I primarily use this for dosa, idli and plain streaming rice recipe. I prepare by adding onion and garlic which adds nice aroma and texture to thakkali thokku recipe.However, in this recipe we can avoid onion and garlic.I would soon share the non onion and garlic version too. Firstly, i have added a pinch of jaggery in this recipe which gives a sweet and tangy combination to this recipe. It can be completely ignored if you do not prefer to. Secondly, i always recommend to use ripped juicy tomatoes for thakkali thokku recipe.
