Thakkali Kuzhambu is very famous in my home town.I had Thakkali Kuzhambu recently in Saravana Bhavan they used Manatha thakkali vathal in it.The tastes was really good.So I wanted to make this kuzhambu at home.It came out so well and taste delicious.



For Thakali Kuzhambu,Choose ripe tomatoes for good taste.



I used Manatha Thakkali vathal.You can use fresh manatha thakkali also.If u didn’t get the manatha thakkali then compensate it with mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds,for tempering.

Few Curry leaves 
1/4 cup Tamarind Extract

To Grind:


2 and 1/2 tbsp grated Coconut
1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Roasted Gram dal
2 dry Red Chillies


Method:

• Mash the tomatoes and keep aside.
• Roast the grinding ingredients and ground it until fine paste with little water.

• Heat oil in a kadai and fry the manatha thakkali till golden brown.
• Add onion and curry leaves,fry them along with the manatha thakkali.

• Add the mashed tomatoes and fry,till the raw smell goes.
