This Thakkalu Kuzhambu or Tomato Saar Recipe is as delicious as it is simple. I love anything tomato-flavoured and especially when it's kuzhambu with coconut ground in it, it's extra special for me. This Tomato Kulambu goes great with rice and some chips. You can add a dry vegetable curry on the side, like a betroot thoran or a beans mezhukkupuratti which would just take your meal to the next level.
So now let's check out how to make Thakkali Kuzhambu using this easy recipe from Arch.
Now onto the Tomato Saar Recipe.
Thakkali Kuzhambu | Tomato Saar Recipe
Serves 4
Recipe source: Arch
Ingredients:
4 ripe tomatoes
3-4 green chillies
1 cup grated coconut
A few curry leaves
1 red chilli
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
A pinch of hing / asafoetida
1.5 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon grated jaggery
How to make Thakkali Kuzhambu:
1. Blanch the tomatoes in hot water. Peel the skin off and keep aside to cool. Reserve the water for later use.
2. Grind the green chillies, coconut, and tomatoes in a blender till smooth
3. Add the reserved water to the tomato-coconut paste and bring to boil in a pan.
4. Add salt and jaggery and cook down until desired consistency is reached. If the kuzhambu is too thick, you can add more water to begin with.
5. For tempering, heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds, broken red chilli, curry leaves and asafoetida.
6. Dunk the seasoning over the thakkali kuzhambu and serve with hot rice

You know, I have to say I'm guilty to every one fo your 3 opening statements at this post!
But I'm not sure how to solve them. And my blog also needs a make-over very badly.
You're lucky you have only 2 posts in your drafts. I have so many!!!

I love your recipes, the step-by-step and everyday. Because your "everyday recipe" is NOT my "everyday recipe", it is a variation for me and seeing them gives me an idea of what other "home food" is out there.
Take this Tomato Saar, never had it.

I am going through a different set of problems that doesn't get me blogging at all. The template factor is common - I don't know what I should do about the header but I have got tired of looking at my present one:). Since my son will not eat anything other than rasam, sambar and dal I really am not motivated to try any other gravy - which will only mean I cook two things instead of one!!
Umm... the rant became a long one I guess but it did lighten me up a bit:). My MIL makes a similar saar and it tastes great with rice. Maybe my son will like this! Your whole setting looks wonderfully cheery!
