What it is

777 began with brothers R.S. Narayanasamy Iyer and R.S. Ganapathy Iyer, whose Hotel Sri Rama Bhavan opened on Thambu Chetty Street in Madras in 1933. Vengaya thokku is onions cooked down slowly with chilli and tamarind until dark and jammy, with the oil rising to the top.

This is the hot one: sweet from the onions first, then the chilli arrives. It spreads easily inside a dosai and holds its own next to plain idli. Choosing between thokkus? Onion for sweet heat, tomato for tangy, ginger for sharp and spicy.

Tip: Spread a teaspoon over a half-cooked uthappam, flip it for ten seconds, and serve.

Goes well with: GRB Ragi Dosa Mix, 777 Tangy Tomato Thokku, Idhayam Gingelly (Sesame) Oil
