A spicy tomato, cucumber and onion relish that is a refreshing accompaniment to most Indian meals. I like it a bit on the spicy side, but you can adjust the amount of peppers to your own taste.

KACHUMBARI (TOMATO AND ONION RELISH)



Kachumbari (Tomato and Onion Relish) image

In his book, "Koshersoul," the food historian Michael W. Twitty explores the varied cuisines of the global Jewish diaspora. Kachumbari, the Swahili word that means "pickle," can be traced to Kenya and other East African countries where the tomato and onion mix is served as a salad or relish. This dish exemplifies a tradition of hospitality: Appetizers or snacks - salatim in Israel, kemia in North Africa and mezze in the Middle East - are offered to house guests. After tasting the small plates, the visitors then decide if they would like to stay and enjoy the main meal. This deeply flavored kachumbari can be served with nearly any fish or other protein-based dish, and can also be offered alongside plantains, or with hummus and pita.
