Basic Salsa

Simple Tomato Salsa.

There are so many different kinds of salsas in Mexican cuisine, but still I love this very simple salsa. A few basic ingredients from your kitchen and you can fix this up in no time. Also, I find it very interesting that this salsa is very similar to Indian koshimbir(raita without yogurt). The difference being the addition of garlic and cumin powder, two greatly used ingredients in both Mexican and Indian cuisines.
Recipe:
2 tomatoes
1 onion, if you have red, great or yellow would do.
juice from 1 lime
1 tsp cumin powder
salt to taste
sugar to taste
2 serrano chillies or even thai would do., minced
1 large clove of garlic, minced
some chopped cilantro

Procedure:
Dice the tomatoes and the onion. Mix all the ingredients together. If possible, chill for 30 mins before serving to let the flavors blend. Serve with tortilla chips or on taco.
Enjoy
Dipti!!
