There are many ways we can prepare the coconut chutney. Coconut chutney is part and parcel of south indian families, for every breakfast goes well with this chutney. Our todays chutney is traditionally prepared as a side dish to the rice poori/akki poori . For this chutney we don’t add tamarind or even coriander leaves. It is very simple to make yet so delicious.
This is that time of the year, you see varieties of tomatoes at farmer’s market. You will find the best tasting tomatoes which are grown locally here at the farmer’s market. Fresh and flavorful. Why I am talking about these tomatoes?… one thing, you cannot resist buying the fresh tomatoes in bulk. Secondly, picture of our family enjoying the whole wheat bread sandwich with a layer of Tomato thokku/Tomato pickle, sliced onions, cucumber and avocado. Mouthwatering huh? I know, that is why I get these tomatoes and prepare the ultimate thokku. Food for travel ? this tomato thokku is the best one.
