Tomato Salsa Dip

 Ingredients

• • tomatoes
• • garlic
• • green chillies
• • coriander
• • tamarind (optional)
• • salt to taste
• • a drop of mustard oil/ olive oil would also do.

 Method

• blanch the tomatoes. A more authentic way of doing this would be to roast the tomatoes on a low flame and then slowly take off the skin by transferring the tomatoes into a bowl of cold water. This lends a very distinctive flavour to the dip. But for the lazy ones like me only blanching would suffice.

• chop green chillies, garlic and coriander leaves.

• mash the boiled/ roasted tomatoes along with the garlic, coriander and a drop or two of oil. Add as many chillies as you can take. For about two tomatoes you can put in about 4-5 cloves of garlic or so.

• in case you are a fan of all things tangy, just squeeze in soak some tamarind seeds and add the juice to your dip.

• indulge with pakoras/cutlets or any other snacks!
