Oil- 1 tablespon

Mustard seeds- 1 tablespoon

Urad dal- 1 tablespoon

Ginger- 3 little bit

Garlic- 10 cloves

Chopped onion- 4

Chopped tomatoes-4

Salt- 1 tablespoon

Grated coconut- 1 cup

Coriander leaves- a little bunch

Red chilli powder- ½ tablespoon

Jaggery- a little bit

PROCEDURE:

1.       First make ready with all the ingredients.

2.       Heat oil in a kadai and add mustard seeds along with urad dal and also add ginger, garlic with coconut

                            

 

3.       Once the coconut gets roasted add onions along with salt

4.       Once the onions turns golden brown add the tomatoes along with red chilli powder.

5.       Mix it well until the mixture gets mushy and at the same timeadd the coriander leaves in the mixie.

6.       Once the mixture gets cool down add the mixture in to the mixie and grind it well. Simultaneously again heat oil in kadai and add mustard seeds and urad dal.

7.       Now add the grinded mixture into it. The mixture will be green in  colour.

8.       Add a little bit of jiggery to it. And close it with a dosa lid.( Do not use plate). Have your stove in simmer or low for 25 min. in between check that the thokku is not sticky to the vessel. If it sticks add oil little by little.

Finally the coriander thokku is ready. The thokku is really yummy. I have never tried such a recipe before. You can have it with idly, dosa , utthapam and even with rice and chapathi. And also that this thokku will be good for two days if you refrigerate.

THINGS TO KNOW:

1.       You can add curry leaves or mint leaves instead of coriander leaves.

2.       More oil you add, the thokku will result more good

3.       It’s a good practice to add oil for every 5 minutes so that it will not stick to the pan.
