Chicken Tomato Thokku:
Kozhi Thakkali Thokku. Kodi Tomato Vepudu. Murg Tamatar ka Curry.
Mommy used to make Thakkali Thokku(Tomato dip)to go with our chappathis(during school days). Later I tweaked the same recipe and added chicken to it…to suit my palate(during hostel days). So when ever I visit home during vacation…I try to cook and show them what I have improvised. One such recipe is this!:)
Ingredients:
Chicken 1/2 kilo (skin-on, bone-in)
Country tomatoes 6 pureed
Garlic paste 2 spoons
Salt
Turmeric 1/4 spoon
Chili powder 1-2 spoons
Cloves
Cinnamon 1 stick
Bay leaves 2
Cardamom 3 crushed
Curry leaves 3-4 twigs
Cilantro to garnish
Butter 2 cubes.
Method:
In a wide wok, melt butter. Throw in all the spices and wait till it crackles up.
Then add garlic and fry till its raw odour leaves the pan.
Now add chicken, salt, turmeric and chili powder….fry real good.
Add tomato puree and coever and cook. Let the chicekn get doen with this tomatoe based water…do not add any water further. Leave them in medium heat. It may take at least 20 minutes to get cooked.
When the chicken is done thoroughly and the puree has also consolidated real good, with oil showing up on top and sides…remove from heat. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
Serve warm to go with your chappathi or poori.

Wow, I’m drooling on your chicken dish.. Recipe sounds so authentic and delicious! And I love that color.. I’m so tempted to give it a try tonight.. will let you know
They entice me a lot. I got an extra new recipe to cook. A la carte is huge.
Delicious,looks lot like my big sister’s tomato chicken,glad to have found the recipe on your blog.Tangy tomatoes are nice complement with bland white meat like chicken.
Nice to know your mom grew out of the asthma.It certainly is a relief after years of suffering.
My son is also taking homeo for about a year now.He is much better now since his diagnosis 2 year back.He is a normal kid,plays tantrums and has fun.But only when he has a cold or infection,we need to be very careful,his inhalers are must.thank you so much for your kind prayers,I hope he develops the immunity and as the airways grow ,kids usually grow out it.
wow! lovely chicken recipe!
looking so delicious!
