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, these green tomatoes become more flavorful the next day, after the spices and lemon or lime juice have had a chance to more properly meld.
