Tomato salsa Instant tomato chutney
Tomato salsas are gorgeous looking things and only 5 minutes get in-between seeing this picture and tasting it in your mouth. Believe me when I say that because Ive just made it to go with my lunch of chapati ( fluffed Indian bread ) and cabbage curry. This one is going to add some fun and zing to my otherwise boring lunch.
The one thing thatll be nice to have is a mortar and pestle to have that rough ground texture. A single pulse of 3-4 seconds in your food processor will substitute though.
Tomato Salsa | Instant tomato chutney
Category - Chutneys / Salad / Fat free / Weight loss recipes
Time taken - Under 5 minutes
Makes 1 cup
Source - My own
ingredients
2 tomatoes medium sized - roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic peeled
4-5 black pepper corns
Pinch of coarse salt
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Spring of coriander leaves - chopped
directions
In a mortar, pound the pepper corns with garlic pearls and coarse salt till roughly ground. Add the chopped tomatoes (in batches if your mortar is smaller), crush them with a firm hand on the pestle. Dont attempt to squish them completely. Remove the crushed contents into a bowl, squeeze lemon juice, cayenne pepper (red chilli powder) and coriander leaves. Toss and check for salt.
Serve chilled as a dip for your chips or toasted pita bread. You could also use this as a side to any regular Indian meal of roti and subzi.
note
You could drizzle extra virgin olive oil to increase the flavour quotient & the (good) fat quotient ofcourse!
