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

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

  • 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.

  • 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. 

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

  • 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. 

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

  • Serve Tomato Gotsu / Thakkali Curry with Ven Pongal and  South Indian Filter Coffee for breakfast.
