Every time we visited Chennai, a bottle of Tomato Thokku from Grand Sweets was a must buy! We just loved the delicious taste of this south Indian pickle specially the one available in Chennai. Be it with rice, Idlies, Dosas or Chapatis, this accompaniment goes well with it all. The only problem with this bought out pickle was the oil content. It was a bit too oily and due to this, our frequency of purchase reduced but the craving did not stop!
Just yesterday as I was browsing through the net for some recipes. I bumped into this beautiful blog with simple to follow recipes and mouth watering foodie pics. The Tomato Thokku recipe in particular, in Rakskitchen tempted me to such an extent that in less than a day I have a bottle full of my favorite pickle ready as the aroma of it still lingers in my kitchen. Tasting almost the same and with much less oil content, I am so delighted to have found this recipe :)
