Receta Poondu Thakkali Thokku
Ingredients
4 no's (medium sized)Tomatoes, chopped
- 4-5 no's Shallots
- 10-12 no's Garlic pods, peeled and chopped
- 4-5 Tbsp Oil (preferably sesame oil)
- 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
- 1 tsp Split urad dahl (optional)

- 1/2 tsp Asafoetida
Instructions
Heat Oil in a pan over medium heat. Once it is very hot, add the mustard seeds and as soon as it crackles, add channa dahl, urad dahl and asafoetida.
Once the dahl starts browning, add the shallots and garlic and sauté until it turns translucent. Keep it on medium heat in order to prevent garlic from burning.
Then add the tomatoes. Cover and cook until they cook well and become mushy. You can sprinkle water if needed. Keep stirring them.
Finally add the chilli powder and keep stirring them until the oil starts separating.
Cool them and store them in a container
Serving
