tomato, onion and mint salad

Crisp and crunchy… A must have side dish

You know that side salad that is served at most Indian restaurants? That’s right, the one that is often served with pappadams and/or nice and cold beside a spicy kebab or samosa. Well this is it.

No, it’s not difficult. You might wonder why I even bothered to type the recipe.

The thing is, I’ve been asked for a good tomato, onion and mint salad recipe many times. I’ve finally got around to typing it.

This is a quick and easy salad served with many different Indian dishes. It’s very popular at British Indian restaurants so you could say my site just wasn’t complete without it.

A more traditional way to make it would be with fresh mint leaves. This is the British Indian restaurant (BIR) version, however so I use mint sauce. Coleman’s will do just fine. No, that’s not an advertisement for Coleman’s, it just happens to be the brand I use.

Give this crispy fresh salad a try next time you have kebabs on the menu. You’ll be glad you did. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make a good meal into an awesome curry feast!
