About

Indian dining tables will always have an onion and tomato salad. We usually pile a little heap of salt on the side of our plate and dip the tomato or onion into it and eat them as separate mouthfuls. Choose the best tomatoes you can for this salad. In the East, tomatoes are as flavourful and as beloved as ripe plums.
