TOMATO KACHUMBER

Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
2 scallions, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
4 teaspoons fresh lime or lemon juice
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the tomatoes, scallions, mint, ginger, and lemon or lime juice in a medium bowl.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a small pan or skillet and add the mustard seeds. When the seeds begin to pop (have a lid handy to contain them), remove the pan from the heat. Pour the oil and seeds over the tomato mixture, add salt to taste, and lightly toss. Let the salad marinate for about 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for tomatoes that are plump and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a variety of colors and textures: To make your kachumber more visually appealing, use a variety of colors and textures. Try using different types of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or heirloom tomatoes. You can also add other vegetables, such as cucumbers, onions, and cilantro.
  • Don't overcook the tomatoes: Tomatoes are best when they are cooked just until they are softened. Overcooking them will make them mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Season to taste: Kachumber is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Tomato kachumber is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its bright colors and tangy flavor, kachumber is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
