Now ( Jan 24th 2010) Thakkali is quite cheap (Rs.10/kg) in Madras. So you can buy 2/3 kgs of Thakkali and prepare thokku.
Take 1 KG of Thakkali, wash it. Cut into small pieces. Keep it separate.
Pour about 50 ML of Nalla Ennai(Gingelly oil) in a Thick Aluminium vessel. Keep it on stove. Put 5/10 grams of Perungaayam in the oil and allow it to fry.
Now pour about 10 grams of Kadugu allow it to explode.
Now put the cut Thakkali. Throughly mix it. Now add 2 (of 2.5) tea spoons of
salt and mix it. Allow the Thakkali to cook and let the mixture to solidify(will take about 10 minutes or so.) Once it solidifies, add about 4/5 tea spoons of Chilli powder. Mix it. Add 10 to 20 ml of Nalla ennai and mix it.
The entire preparation takes about 30 mts max. It is easy to make.
