Ag Iyengar’s Thakkali Thokku – The Tangy Tomato Classic That Feels Like Home

In every South Indian household, there’s one magical jar in the kitchen that never stays full for long. It’s bold, tangy, spiced just right – and it goes with practically everything. Yes, we’re talking about Thakkali Thokku – and at Ag Iyengar’s, we’ve taken this classic and bottled it with the love, flavor, and authenticity it deserves.

 What Is Thakkali Thokku?

Thakkali Thokku is a South Indian-style tomato relish or pickle, slow-cooked with ripe tomatoes, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and a carefully balanced spice mix. It's somewhere between a chutney and a pickle – the kind of condiment you keep reaching for again and again.

At Ag Iyengar’s, our Thakkali Thokku is made the way our grandmothers made it – with patience, perfectly ripened tomatoes, cold-pressed sesame oil, and absolutely no preservatives.

What sets Ag Iyengar’s Thakkali Thokku apart? It’s not mass-produced. Each batch is handmade in small quantities to preserve its traditional taste. No artificial colors. No synthetic vinegar. Just good tomatoes, sun-dried spices, and the essence of a South Indian kitchen.

We slow-cook every batch for hours until the oil separates and the flavor deepens. You can smell the mustard and curry leaves. You can taste the warmth of the red chilies. It’s not just a condiment – it’s an experience.
