  • The amount of chilly powder given is for milder spicy,if you want alter it according to your preference.
  • The garlic here I used is fat clove,if its small clove use 15-20 cloves.
  • The amount of oil is very important to maintain the shelf life of the thokku,so be generous in the amount of oil.
