@ Ragavi,
As pickle/thokku are acidic, I store it in ceramic/glass utensils instead of metallic utensils.
As I don’t use any preservatives, I keep it in airtight container for few days. Sometimes I keep it in refrigerator. I generally prepare in less quantity so that in finishes off within ten days.
Preservatives are added in the pickle/thokku sold in the market.

Hi Kamala
Yummy thokku!!
Could you please tell me what type of utensil you used for storing the lemons? In the photo it looks like ceramic. Could you also tell me the effective way of preserving the thokku.
Thanks

@ Jaya
Thokku can be prepared with thick or thin peel. Quantity of thokku will reduce if it is of thin peel.

Could you please tell me if I can make the thokku with lemons available in the US. They do have thick peel (unlike the ones we get in India). Here limes have thin peel. Can I try the same thokku with lime? Pls respond. Thanks!
