How to make Thakkali Gotsu Recipe | Thakkali Curry | Spicy & Tangy Tomato Gravy

  1. To begin making Tomato Gotsu Recipe/ Thakkali Curry Recipe, prepare all the ingredients and keep them ready.

  2. Soak the tamarind in hot water for 20 minutes. Extract the water from the tamarind to get about 1/2 cup of thick tamarind.

  3. Roughly chop the tomatoes and pulse the chopped tomatoes in a mixer grinder. You want a chunky sauce and not a fine puree. This will help add texture to the Tomato Gotsu.

  4. Heat oil in a pressure cooker on medium heat, add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Add the curry leaves, garlic and onions and saute until the onions turn tender and translucent. 

  5. Now, add the crushed  tomatoes, tamarind water, turmeric powder, sambar powder,  salt and jaggery. Stir the Tomato Gotsu and pressure cook for 2 whistles.

  6. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure releases, open the cooker and give the Tomato Gotsu/ Thakkali Curry a stir. 

  7. Check the salt and spices and adjust to taste accordingly. Transfer the Tomato Gotsu/ Thakkali Curry to a serving bowl and serve hot.

  8. Thakkali Curry with Ven  Pongal  and  South Indian Coffee for breakfast.
