India Fried Green Tomato Salad
In India, fried green tomatoes are common in salads and as side dishes. This simply spiced fried tomato dish can be served as a side or appetizer. While usually enjoyed freshly prepared, this dish may be even tastier the next day, after the tomatoes, spices, and lime juice have had a chance to more thoroughly meld.
