Peach Thokku

 

 

Peach is a wonderful fruit with a twist of tangy and sweet taste. We can make milk shakes, smoothies, yummy desserts using Peaches. But I did not have an idea of making thokku or pickle out of it. One of my good friend's mother visited my home last week and she made this delightful peach thokku within minutes. Thokku tastes heavenly, tastes like our mango thokku and we all liked it. Its difficult to hide this thokku at home as it's the best accompaniment for curd rice. Just 4 or 5 big peaches are enough to make a decent quantity. Try this peach thokku and enjoy..
