Tomato Salsa Dip

Add a tang to your snacks with this two-minute tomato dip

Ingredients

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

Instructions

STEP 1:

? 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.

STEP 2:

STEP 3:

? chop green chillies, garlic and coriander leaves.

STEP 4:

STEP 5:

? 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.

STEP 6:

STEP 7:

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

STEP 8:

STEP 9:

? indulge with pakoras/cutlets or any other snacks!
