Centella Thokku

Centella Thokku is a healthy and flavorful South Indian dish made with Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola or Brahmi), a herb renowned for its medicinal properties. This thokku highlights the fresh, slightly bitter flavor of Centella leaves, which are combined with onions, tomatoes, tamarind, and a range of spices like red chili powder, turmeric, and mustard seeds to create a tangy, savory, and aromatic paste.

Centella is known for its ability to improve brain function, promote healing, and support skin health, making this dish both nutritious and delicious. The leaves are slow-cooked with the spices to form a thick, rich masala that pairs beautifully with hot steamed rice, dosa, or chapati.
