Thank you for the recipe
i am a regular visitor of ur website. Ur thokku looks delicious. Can we do it without ginger garlic?
I have written ginger garlic paste is optional in ingredients list – so not necessary. You can prepare this thokku without g-g paste also.
Before blending removing the skin of tomatoes is the great idea.
How many days it would be good in shelf?
For 15 days in the refrigerator if handled properly.
The Tomato thokku came out a bit watery. But I added some rice flour dissolved in water. It finally cane out with the thick consistency. It tasted good.Last week I made kathirikkai sadam, bindi masala and beans paruppu usili. All came out nicely. Thank you.
