GREEN CHILLI THOKKU

Green Chilli Thokku is a pickle made with green chillies, spices and tamarind.It is very tasty but very spicy and hot and goes with almost any dish as a side.In our house we call it as Molaga thogayal.My husband loves it to the core and demands making this almost twice a month.I make it but sometimes have to say no due to the extreme spiciness of the pickle.This traditional thokku a family favorite is in our house for generations from grandma to mom and then me.The tastiest combination is with curd rice or dosa,but it’s lingering taste would tempt you to have tis with idlis and rotis too.Choose the less spice variety of green chillies to avoid acidity to your stomach.

Green chillies are the most widely used ingredient in our kitchens.This delicious thokku is made with the reasonably spicy variety of chillies.I tend to buy chillies on a large scale scale while buying groceries.This way I make it on large or small scales however the situation demands.But this has to be stored in airtight containers and refrigerated properly to increase the shelf life of the pickle.So if are a spice lover like me and can withstand hot and spicy pickles then this one is for you.Try this awesome Green Chilli Thokku and let me know.
