Quick Indian Salsa

A quick and easy tomato, onion, chilly and coriander relish that you can knock up in minutes.


Ingredients
1 tin Italian Peeled Tomatoes
1 medium to large onion finely chopped
3-4 green Indian chillies finely chopped
10-15 gms finely chopped fresh coriander and stalks
1tbsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
You will require a hand grinder for this recipe


Serves 4-6
Grind the tin of tomatoes through the hand grinder and remove to a medium sized bowl.

Add the finely chopped onions and mix in well.

Then throw in the finely chopped coriander, green chillies,
lemon juice, ground cumin, salt and give it a good stir.

Cover tightly with some cling film and leave to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours. You will notice that juices from the onions will appear on the sides; this just adds flavour to the salsa, so give it a final stir before serving. The salsa can last up to a few days in an air tight container or bowl, kept in the fridge.

Perfect with nachos, poppadoms, samosas, spring rolls, kebabs and fish dishes.
