Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------
1/2 cup fresh ginger -- (a 2-3-inch piece), peeled and cut into paperthin slices
1 medium banana pepper -- seeded and cut into paperthin slices (approx. 1/3 cup)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 pounds fresh ripe tomatoes -- (about 4 medium)
freshly ground black pepper -- a sprinkling
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
Place the ginger and chiles in a small nonreactive bowl. Add the lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand, tossing once or twice, for 20 minutes.
Slice the tomatoes and arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, the pepper, and mint. Turn gently to distribute the mint and seasonings. Add the ginger-chile mixture, arranging the ginger slices decoratively over the tomatoes. Serve slightly chilled.
Serves 4 as a side salad.
Serve alongside any combination of curry and flatbread. This salad is particularly good over fried cheese and vegetable curry, five-lentil stew or Gujarati mango curry.
With so many other foods on the table, Indian salads don't get the recognition that they deserve. Particularly in the north of India, however, there is seldom a meal served without at least a plate of freshly sliced cucumber, white radish, or tomato, and wedge or two of fresh lime. Salads are rarely complicated; it's their simplicity that makes them such an ideal complement to the other foods.
This ginger and tomato salad is exquisite. It is a great addition to a larger Indian meal, as its fresh taste brings out the full flavors of the other dishes. It's also a terrific match with kebabs and other grilled (favorites), as well as very good served simply with fresh hot naan. If you can avoid the temptation, wait until good fresh tomatoes are in season.
