  • To this add the tomato puree and mix well. Add required salt and chilli powder, mix and cook it covered in medium flame as it will splutter. U can see that the tomato puree will loose all its water and oil will start oozing in the sides (approx 20 to 25 mins). Now add the mustard and fenugreek powder and mix. Cook for another minute and switch off the flame.

Tips:

  1. Use a clean, dry spoon to handle the tomato pickle.
  2. Use red,ripe tomatoes to make the tomato thokku.
  3. Gingely oil has a unique flavour, so do not skip it.
  4. This stores well for 12-15 days when refrigerated and should stay for a month too. Have not had a chance to store beyond that. But am sure it will be finished quickly, just like mine 🙂
