I have already posted a recipe for thakkali Thokku. In this post also, I am going to share a thakkali thokku recipe. This will be quite different. It can be used as a side dish for rotis and chapathis. It can also be used as a side dish for rasam rice. Boiled eggs can be tossed up in this thokku and used as a side dish too. It has a variety of option including making pastas and noodle with this thokku. I hope you guys would love it. If you are going to store it in refrigerator, you could decrease the amount of oil used. If you are going to carry it outside, use the correct quantity of oil. It can be stored in room temperature for 5 days. In fridge, it can be kept for 3 to 6 weeks and served.
