Tomato Thokku

₹120 · 200g

Tomato Thokku is a slow-cooked tomato relish — made from ripe tomatoes reduced with sesame oil, mustard seeds, dried red chillies, asafoetida and salt into a thick, concentrated, tangy preserve. Unlike fresh tomato chutneys, a properly made thokku is cooked long enough for the moisture to evaporate and the oil to rise, which is what gives it its glossy texture and 2–3 week shelf life. Mrs. Esakkiammal cooks each batch in cast iron at Iyarkai Pantry, Tirunelveli. The 100g jar is a 2–3 week supply. It pairs with idli, dosa, chapati, bread and plain rice — one of the most versatile relishes in the Tamil pantry. No preservatives, artificial flavours, colours or added sugar. Refrigerate after opening. One of the most requested products from NRI customers who find it impossible to replicate the slow-cooked, slightly caramelised depth of a home-made Tamil tomato thokku abroad.
