My mom makes
this thokku for us every time she comes to Singapore, and it lasts for a long
time even after she has returned to India. So recently I started to make this
tomato thokku for my hubby every time I go to India on long vacations. This is a quick and easy to make, and goes
well with almost everything like rice, chapathi, dosai, idly, etc. I have made
this so many times now, that hubby claims my recipe is better than my mom’s J The trick is to make it really spicy and add
more oil ;)
