This delicious dip/thokku goes very well with idly,dosa,roti and rice even can be used as a spread for sandwich.This thokku is perfect for travel and can be stored for 3-4 days without refrigeration and 10 days in the refrigerator.Off to the recipe...................................

Add the red chilly powder and salt,cook it covered for 2-3 minutes.At this stage the thokku will be slightly watery.Reduce the flame and let it cook for another couple of minutes or till the oil separates.Put off the fire.


Store it in a glass container once thokku is completely cooled down.

  • 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.

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............                                                                                          ...
