Cabbage-Tomato Salad

We were served this crisp, tangy salad with our meals at most of the rustic beach side shacks in Goa, India. It accompanies spicy Goan curries astonishingly well, in particular the fiery red meat curries like pork vindaloo.

2 cups green cabbage, finely sliced, or coarsely grated
1 large tomato, sliced
2 green chillies, chopped coarsely
2 tbsp. chopped coriander leaves
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
salt & lots of freshly ground pepper to taste

• Mix the vegetables, herbs and chillies in a large bowl
• Make a light dressing with vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper
• Pour over salad and toss
