Thoothuvalai Thokku

Thoothuvalai Thokku is a traditional South Indian herbal delicacy made with the nutrient-rich leaves of the Thoothuvalai plant (Solanum Trilobatum). Known for its medicinal properties, this thokku is both flavorful and healthy, offering relief from colds, coughs, and respiratory issues.

Prepared by sautéing fresh Thoothuvalai leaves with onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices like red chili powder, turmeric, and tamarind paste, the dish is cooked to form a thick, tangy, and aromatic masala. The natural bitterness of the leaves is perfectly balanced with the spices, creating a unique and delightful flavor.

Thoothuvalai Thokku pairs wonderfully with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with dosa or idli, making it a must-try for its taste and health benefits. Enjoy the goodness of nature in every spoonful!
