It's Spring !!!!

I went to Sri Lanka during Spring 2003, to visit my in-laws. Hubby's aunt cooked up lunch for us once at her home. She made this terrific tomatoe salad. Though 3 years have passed, I just can't forget the taste of the salad. Bought some totatoes to try making it.

This tomatoe salad is so simple and easy to make yet delicious. It has only 3 main ingredients. I added very finely sliced curry leaves for the aroma. Also to boost up the taste.

Tomato Salad

What do we need:




2 ripe tomatoes
1 onion
1 green chilli
1 sprig curry leaves
1/4 tsp sugar
salt to taste

How do we do it:

Slice all the ingredients very thinly. Season with salt and sugar.

Serve cold.

Look at you, how did you chop those green chillies like that:), i would never be able to get them into uniform rings:(

Looks yummy! Sometimes, The simplest dishes are the most tastiest!!!

I'm perplexed like Karthi. How did you slice th tomatoes and onions and green chillies that thin? A special knife?

Marge: Give it a try. U'll like it.

Mike: Thanx. Anyway, salad is called salsa in Italian & Spanish.

Shawn: Welcome & thank u very much. Glanced thru ur blog. Very nice. R u a Malaysian? Just guessing from the telur gulung tat u made & the spelling of the telur. hehehe :)

Karthi: Thanx. Yep, u've got it rite. Well, actually, made it on ur request. I got used to cutting like that as I'm always rushing against time. When u cut fast, u'll get very fine slices.

Kay: Thanx. U r very correct. As I've told Karthi, I've got to rush while cutting. Of course with bloody experiences. I just use a normal chef's knife.
