Raw mango thokku
One of the best preparations of my grandmother was this thokku. She used to prepare this often during summers and store in oorgai jaadi (ceramic pickle jar). Mixed with steaming hot rice, this thokku used to taste divine. During summer vacation afternoons, she would place a ball of curd rice and a pinch of this thokku in our hands (my brother and I). We would gobble it up and get back to playing in the hot sun :-)
I regret that I didn't learn the recipe from her. But after going through number of thokku recipes from various food blogs, the one I'm sharing today comes close to my grandma's version.
