Thakkali Perakku Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 6 – 8)
1. Tomato / thakkali – 2 large, finely chopped
Red onion – 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Water – 1/4 cup
Salt – To taste
2. Grated coconut – 3/4 – 1 cup
Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
Green chilies – 2
Yoghurt – ½ cup
To season
4. Coconut oil – 2 tsp

Dried red chilies – 1 – 2, broken
Curry leaves – A few
Method
1. Cook chopped tomato along with red onion, salt and ¼ – ½ cup water in a vessel for 3 – 4 minutes. Do not overcook, the onions should retain their crunch.
2. Meanwhile grind ingredients numbered 2 to a fine paste. Add it to the cooked tomato mixture. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes until it is about to boil. Switch off.
3. Heat coconut oil in a small pan. Splutter mustard seeds and fry dry red chilies and curry leaves. Pour over the prepared thakkali perakku. Serve warm. We had the yummy perakku with rice, fish fry, cherupayar thoran, aviyal, vendakka mezhukkupuratti, kaduku manga achar and moru curry
