Unable to set up a Hot Pot? Me too! So I made my soup in a Pan then doled it out! We loved the soup and well I am asked to repeat the recipe! Not a very easy thing in my place! Try it!

Coriander Thokku, Kothamalli Thokku Recipe
Kothamalli Thokku
A thokku is a pickle that is made by pounding vegetables or fruit. They can also be grated vegetables and not made with bite-sized chunks of vegetables.
A pounded thokku will stay for almost one year.
Whenever people want to eat, they make a fine paste of it and add the tempering to it.
Till the last few years, the only Thokku I knew of was the tender tamarind one called hunsinkai thokku. It is only now that I have heard of tomato thokku, coriander thokku etc.
This Monday for FoodieMondayBlogHop our theme is #196 It’s Pickle Time. The theme has been suggested by Aruna and I would not be able to participate as 1) my BP has skyrocketed and 2)would be just back from a trek. The doctors want me to avoid pickle, papad etc. So I was grateful when Aruna agreed to allow Thokku as a pickle.
The yearly preserved tender tamarind thokku will have a lot of salt so I need to avoid it but then this delicious Coriander Thokku needs to be finished in 2 weeks if refrigerated.
This recipe is a mix of recipes from Nalini’s kitchen and Tickling Palates.

Coriander thoku with tamarind and red chili sounds flavorful. I think the fried urad dal must be adding good texture to this chutney.
ArchanaPotdar says
yes Poonam, the texture is built because of the urid dal.

At first glance I would have mistaken it for a chutney.You’ve explained the difference well. I’ve had tomato thokku and even made it once. Coriander one sounds interesting.
ArchanaPotdar says
Thanks, Mayuri.
