Tomato garlic thokku is a tangy and spicy South Indian condiment made by slow-cooking ripe tomatoes with garlic, tamarind, and aromatic spices in gingelly oil. The process intensifies the flavour, giving it a glossy finish that pairs beautifully with idlis, dosas, chapatis, or curd rice. It’s easy to make and keeps well for days; perfect for busy mornings.
