Indian salads are refreshing complements to elaborate dishes that are loaded with spices and flavours. This sharp tangy recipe is remarkably simple and pairs well with meat or chicken.

2 tomatoes, chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ tsp sugar
A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
A pinch of salt

Put all the ingredients in a non-metallic bowl and toss to together. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate until required. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if necessary, just before serving. Serve chilled.
