Thakkali Inippu Pachadi:

Toamto Jam. Kaasi Pachadi. Tomato Halwa

This is also called ‘Kaasi Pachadi’….don’t know how it got it! Mommy’s friend Mrs. Babulal used to make this as a side dish! She used to slice the toamtoes and simply immerse them in strong sugar syrup! She treats it as dessert sometimes! Anyways….if you preparing huge Dhaawat(Party Dinner)it could help you as an another dish(can be counted as dip, sweet pachadi, dessert??…you name it!)
