Hey people.
I know tomato salsa sounds easy. Actually its not even qualified to be called a recipe. Lets look at the how to make it first.
Ingredients
1 Ripe Plum Tomato - Remove seeds. Dice into small cubes
1 Medium Spanish Onion (Red) - Chop Finely
1 Chili Finely chopped
1/2 Tbsp Lime Juice
Salt to taste
Steps:
Mix all the ingredients. End of Recipe. :-D
Now to the fun part. Transformation of this simple recipe.
Dish 1 - Instead of Lemon Juice. Add curd. Great side dish for Pulavs and Biriyanis. Before serving sprinkle a touch of Red chili powder on top. It adds to the glamour of the dish.
Dish 2 - Dry roast some of the large pepper papads we get in stores. Hold the papad over the stove flame till it starts to slightly burn or just microwave it (takes 15-30 secs max). Have the salsa in a bowl. Break the papad into bite sized pieces. Use them as cutlery,scoop the salsa and just eat. The combination of the smoked papad with the freshness of the salsa is just great.
Tip: Removing the seeds of the tomato,helps in keeping the salsa moist but not runny.
Optional ingredients ( When you are feeling special and not lazy)
Add finely chopped fresh coriander, Mint to the mixture. You could also add a little dry mango powder and Red chilli powder for extra kick.
Dish 3 - Can be used a topping over cheese crackers, Salted biscuits, Baked potato and Corn chips. It would taste great with a dollop of thick curd or if not calorie conscious, cheese spread or mayo on top.
Dish 4 - Dry toast Salted bread slices. Spread cheese. Add this as topping.
The same thing can be done with Chappatis. After adding the toppings, Roll the chappatis, cut at an angle in the middle and serve. Looks and tastes great.
Instead of cheese spread, grated cheese can be added and later microwaved for a few secs to melt it. Looks like a very simple rustic thin crust pizza.
It can just be had a simple salad. Add a little spring onions, coriander , mint to spruce it up.
This recipe is fresh, tasty, and most important easy to make.
If you have any more ways in which this can be used please do post it.
Thank you and happy cooking.
