    Preethi, this thokku reminds me of my Amma's. The mango you get here, thokku doesn't come well. Probably i will ask my Mom to send some thokku.

    Sounds easy-do you have to keep it in the sun for a couple of days(my gran used to keep pickles in the sun)?

  22. kittymattiJune 12, 2009 at 5:02 PM

    no Sweta..Since the mango is completely cooked to remove all the moisture, there is no sun drying involved here..

    hey rads, thank u so much! That was soooo sweet of u! thnx for the encouragement from day1

    Sowmy, Kittymatti was a common email address for my sis n me (basically Im kitty n shez matti..haha) during our school days when comp and internet were new to us... I have retained the name since then for myself!
