Strawberry thokku? I am not joking!! When strawberries are very very sour, jams are not the only thing you can make. Here is a simple pickle...use it as a spread for sandwiches or pizzas too!
Strawberries 1/4 kg
Red chilli powder 2 tbsp
Hing powder 1/2 tsp
Oil 3 tbsp
mustard seeds 1 tsp
turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Wash and chop strawberries. If they are very sour, they will need more chilli powder. In a kadai, add 2 tbsp oil and add the mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped strawberries and sauté them. Add the salt, chilli powder , turmeric and hing powder and cook on medium flame. Keep the kadai covered with a glass lid so it doesn't splatter everywhere and you can see how it is cooking. Take care not to let it stick to the bottom of the pan. Keep stirring it and add one teaspoon oil. Cook till oil separates. You can mash the strawberries with the ladle. You can serve this thokku as a pickle, or mix it with rice. It is also a good side-dish for puris, roti , idli or dosas!!
