Furthermore, I would like to give some suggestions for making perfect fresh tomato sala. Firstly, try to use good quality of fresh tomatoes to this recipe. Roma tomatoes have a meaty interior and very few seeds. First chop them in half horizontally, and then scoop out the seeds and gel with your fingers. Then chop the tomatoes.

Secondly, if you don’t have a food processor, you can also chop by hand. Then mix all the chopped ingredients in a wide bowl until well combined and then keep it in the refrigerator for an hour.

Finally, serve this fresh tomato salsa with tortillas, chips or masala papads.

Notes:

Instead of coriander leaves, you can also add fresh parsley leaves. You can also add a few tablespoons of drained and rinsed black beans and a few tablespoons of cooked corn kernels in order to get a colorful salsa.

If the chilies make the salsa too hot, add some more finely chopped tomatoes.
You can also add some fresh mango slices and pineapple slices to make mango salsa and pineapple salsa.

You can keep this fresh tomato salsa in the refrigerator for up to one day. But before you serve it, stir it well and just drain any excess liquid that has accumulated in the bowl.
