Thakali / tomato kuzhambu is always my all time favorite recipe. It is very simple to make & yet delicious. This thakkali kuzhambhu is a unique recipe which is made without tamarind and almost tastes like a tomato thokku flavoured with coconut. It is so delicious & it is rich in coconut milk.
Though this kuzhambu is served along with rice in general you can also serve this as a side dish for idli or dosas. The tangy taste of the tomatoes and the heat from the spices will be a treat to your senses.
