Is there anyone in your house says NO to this simple yet yummy onion tomato thokku recipe when you make it as a side dish for idli, dosa and chapathi ? No One, right ?? But in my house, both dad & daughter says BIG NOOOOOO whenever I make this as side dish.
Basically Iam a great fan of tomato recipes especially tomato thokku. I can have more than 10 idlis when my mom makes this as a side dish.After marriage,i have tried it many times following my mom’s recipe using Bangalore tomatoes. Sendhil & Raksha used to have it by showing odd faces. So I completely stopped preparing it for years.
Recently I watched Vijay tv’s samayal samayal with Chef Venkatesh Bhat in which he showed Neer dosa with this chutney (he mentioned this recipe as onion tomato chutney) as side dish. At that time, my in-laws were here in my place & they had brought ripe naatu thakkali ( Tangy tomatoes ) from Salem, Tamilnadu. My MIL told me to try this thokku for breakfast as they love it very much like me. I too tried hopelessly thinking Sendhil & Raksha won’t like it. But to my surprise, they both loved it a lot and Sendhil said “ Its good & tasty” for nearly 4-5 times and had two more idlis too.
I was wondering what made the difference between this version & my mom’s version. Is it the addition of garlic or the tangy Tamilnadu tomatoes,something has made the magic and this recipe was a super hit among my family. Thanks a lot Chef. I have done it thrice so far but only with naatu thakkali (In Bangalore they call it as “Naatti”).
Friends do try this recipe using naatu thakkali if you have in hand, even thokku haters would love it for sure. For tomato lovers, Bangalore tomatoes would do !!

I lov this a lot,yours is so colourful,nice clicks
In my experience all tomato based TN dishes taste best when we use naatu thakali. The color is beautiful Chitra and yup, semma combo with idli dosa or some neer dosa
that is a simply delicious curry for dosas... yum...
my husband all time favourite...tempting thokku.. :)
Simply yummy! Gr8 pics too!
Looks delicious, perfect with idli and dosa..
perfect one for rice as well as for breakfast dishes..
Hello chithra nice dish please tell the onion and tomotto in grams
Tomato is around 50 gms& onion around 40 gms.
Since we are adding tomatoes it may tastes sour at times after cooking it well. In that case what can be done
Hi it happens if tomato is tangy. In that case, you can roast some red chilli powder in oil and add to thokku. Mix well and adjust salt. This will help to balance the taste.
