Tomato Thokku

   Tomato thokku

Medium sized tomatoes 6/7 solid 

Turmeric powder 1/2tsp

Kashmiri chili powder  4tbsp

Sugar 1 ts

Hing 1/2 tsp

Mustard seeds 1tsp

Method

Wash, wipe the tomatoes 

Slit the top of tomato cross wise

Add tomatoes to a vessel with water to tomatoes’ height

When the water boils, remove from gas and keep aside covered

When it cools, remove the skin of tomatoes 

Add tomatoes to the blender and puree coarsely

To a thick bottomed pan, add the puree, turmeric, Hing, sugar and salt

When water evaporates about half hour later, mix with chili powder

Heat a pan with 3 tbsp. sesame oil, mustard until mustard splutters

Add puree to the mustard, keeping the flame low (otherwise it splatters)

When the oil is absorbed in the tomato, the consistency will thicken and your thokku is ready

Remove from the gas, cool it  and put in airtight jar
