Tomato kasundi
Tomato kasundi
This spiced tomato relish finds its way onto our plates at least once a day (while stocks last). It’s beautiful with creamy scrambled eggs, as a side to barbecued lamb shoulder or chops, on top of brown rice and roasted vegetables (see here) with yoghurt, and so on and so on.
