This little Indian, I mean starter that you get at the beginning of a meal with poppadoms. This is how you make it. Gorgeous with poppadoms, but I'm going to be serving it with my Merg methi, Malay curry, which is today's other TikTok. And you're gonna love it. It's so easy. Btw: I'm not eating out a dog bowl. Get one red onion and a really sharp knife or your mandolin and finally slice it. Chop it in a bowl. Chop one normal size tomato or about three or four dinky ones. Add it to the onion. Get yourself a green chili. Fine dice it. Chop it, add it to the bowl. About a tablespoon or so of freshly chopped coriander. The juice of half a lemon. I'll squeeze it into my fingers so I'm gonna stop any stones going into it. Half a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of sugar, half a teaspoon of cumin, a little pinch of sweet paprika, a teaspoon of mint. Get this all stirred up and this is absolutely delicious. Serve it with today's other TikTok, which is a Merg methi Malay curry.
