Notes

1. Water in tomato and onion is enough for the gravy so no need to add water. Excess water will make the gravy thinner
2. Besan flour is optional but it gives a nice consistency to the thokku
3. Can add ginger garlic paste/ garam masala
4. Make sure turmeric powder or chilli powder is not stuck to the pan
5. Kashmiri red Chilli powder gives a nice color to the thokku. If you are using regular Chilli powder adjust the quantity accordingly
6. I directly cooked this gravy in the pressure cooker, instead, it can also be cooked in the pan. Saute onions till they turn translucent then add tomatoes
7. thokku Will masala powders make a great gravy base for North Indian gravy 
8. Can avoid tempering and prepare this gravy oil-free
