- Add 1 teaspoon oil to a heavy bottomed deep kadai then add the puree to it.
- When it starts to boil keep in high flame and cook covered. This is avoid from spluttering.

- Add this to the thokku. Mix well, cook for 2 mins and switch off.

Notes
- Keeps well in room temperature for 5 days after that refrigerate.
- Add in batches while grinding if the mixer is small.
- Always use clean dry spoon.
- Store only after cooling down completely.
- I usually like garlic flavour so added it, if you want you can skip it too. But the flavour of garlic here is very mild.
- Adding jaggery powder is optional but I recommend adding it for the tanginess.
Add salt only if its reduced for perfect balance. - Use ripe tomatoes. Use kashmiri chillies for a bright color and a mild spice.
- Use a thick bottomed deep kadai.
- I used gingelly oil, you can use any cooking oil
