Thakkali Urugai/Tomato Pickle

tomato thokku without any pickle masala version.But today's version is a slightly different one with the pickle masala and bit spicy which I learned from my friend's mom.This is a flavorful and tangy,spicy pickle which goes very well with curd rice,other tiffin varieties such as idly,dosa and upma.Now on to the recipe.......

Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Tomatoes2lbs
Tamarind paste2tsp
Chilly powder2tbs
Oil1/2cup
Fenugreek seeds/vendhayam1/2tsp
Mustard seeds/kadugu3/4tsp
Saltto taste

For tempering
IngredientQuantity
Mustard seeds1tsp
Curry leaves1 sprig
Asafoetida1/8tsp

Method

                                Chop the tomatoes finely,dry roast the fenugreek seeds,mustard seeds separately and powder it in a mortar or blender,keep aside.
Heat 2tbs of oil in a heavy bottom pan.Once the oil is hot add the chopped tomato and cook it for 5-6 minutes.
Now add the tamarind paste,chilly powder and salt to it,cook it covered in the medium flame till the oil separates or it becomes thick(mine took 23mins.).Stir it in between to avoid  burning.At this stage add the ground powder,stir it well and cook it for a minute.
Heat the remaining oil in a small pan and do the tempering with the ingredients.Add it to the tomato paste and mix it well.Store it in a clean,dry air tight bottle after cooling.
 Tomato pickle is ready.

Enjoy....................

  • Be generous in the oil to keep the pickle fresh and for long shelf life.
  • Cover the tomato while cooking otherwise it will splash.
  • Sliced garlic can also be added in the tempering. 
  • Chopping the tomatoes to fine pieces makes the cooking fast otherwise it takes long time to get cook.
  • Do not cook for a long time after adding the powder.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
