Dharwad Spicy Tokku Pickle

Tokku, an intrinsic part of South Karnataka’s culinary legacy, is a tangy and flavorful relish that elevates the taste of meals. Crafted from a melange of fresh vegetables, predominantly raw mangoes or tomatoes, diced into fine pieces, and seasoned with an array of spices such as mustard, fenugreek, chili, and asafoetida, Tokku entices with its vibrant taste. The careful process of sun-drying and marinating the vegetables in a mix of aromatic spices and tamarind lends it a delightful tanginess and a tantalizing blend of flavors. This versatile relish, a harmonious balance of sourness and spice, serves as a perfect accompaniment to traditional South Karnataka meals, adding a burst of zesty goodness to every culinary affair.
