Tamarind Thokku

Tamarind Thokku Weekend is over.. What for lunch tomorrow?? It would usually be a variety rice at our home for Monday lunch.  Today's recipe is one of the perfect side dishes for variety rice.  They used to prepare this in our college as a side dish for variety rice. Any RMKians remember this???

Here is the recipe..

  • Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot add chopped onions.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook. Add salt and turmeric powder in between. 
  • When the onions are completely cooked add Tamarind extract.
