RAW MANGO THOKKU
A thokku is from Tamilnadu cuisine. It is a kind of pickle/chutney which can be made out of vegetables such as tomatoes, gooseberries, or raw mangoes. It is served as as accompaniment with idli, dosa, chapatis or with curd rice. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find the recipes for Tomato Thokku, and Nellikayi Thokku.
Now that the mango season is on, I got some raw mangoes and set out to make Raw Mango thokku, which is relatively easy to make and yet turns out to be very tasty. You will need to use the ingredients based on your individual taste, especially considering how hot/spicy you would like the thokku to be.
Since we like our food spicy at home, I have used Everest Tikhalal Chilli Powder. Since this is quite hot, I have used 2 tbsp but you can adjust as per your requirement. If you are using home made chilli powder which is much less hot, you could adjust the quantity of chilli powder as per your taste.
The colour of the thokku I made as you can see from the accompanying pictures is also enhanced by the use of Everest Tikhalal Chilli Powder.
