Ripe tomatoes that are cooked down with oil and spices, make this Thakkali Thokku, which can be used as a chutney for Idlis and Dosas or as a good combination for chapathi! This Thakkali Thokku is a travel favorite amongst South Indian families. This can be easily preserved for days as it has a long shelf life when refrigerated
