thakkali thokku (தக்காளி தொக்கு)-250gm

Relish the rich, tangy, deeply comforting taste of our Thakkali Thokku (தக்காளி தொக்கு) — a boldly flavourful, traditionally prepared tomato pickle-preserve crafted from the finest farm-fresh ripe tomatoes, slow-cooked to a thick, intensely flavourful preserve using a time-honoured South Indian family recipe.

Tomatoes (Thakkali) are a nutritional powerhouse — naturally abundant in lycopene (a powerful antioxidant), Vitamin C, Vitamin A, potassium, and folate. Regular consumption of tomatoes is known to support heart health, protect against oxidative stress, improve skin health and radiance, boost immunity, aid digestion, and promote healthy vision. When slow-cooked in sesame oil with traditional spices, the lycopene content becomes even more bioavailable — making our thokku as nourishing as it is delicious.

Our Thakkali Thokku is slow-cooked using a traditional recipe — fresh, ripe farm tomatoes carefully blended with sesame oil, mustard, dried red chillies, fenugreek, asafoetida, turmeric, and a medley of traditional spices — simmered low and slow to a rich, thick, deeply tangy and spicy preserve that captures the full vibrant flavour of the tomato. Made with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives — just pure, farm-fresh ingredients the traditional way.

How to enjoy:
Serve as a side with hot rice and ghee, idli, dosa, chapati, upma, or curd rice. A generous spoonful mixed with warm rice and a drizzle of sesame oil makes for a deeply satisfying and nostalgic everyday meal. Also excellent as a tangy spread on toast, a flavour-packed dosa filling, or a zesty accompaniment to any South Indian breakfast or tiffin.

Farm-fresh tomatoes. Bold flavour. Pure comfort.
