Gooseberry Salsa

My favourite fruit of this season! Packed with Vitamin C and plenty of health benefits, this gooseberry is also known as caped gooseberry for the paperish cape it has as a covering.
Eat it raw or use it in salads or try this fresh and refreshing twist to the regular salsa !


Ingredients (makes one medium sized bowl)

10-12 gooseberries
1 large tomato
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green chilli, chopped
Salt
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 cup coriander leaves
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon red chilli powder

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celcius. Slightly prick the gooseberries and place on a baking tray. Bake till the skin starts turning soft and dark brown ,about ten minutes. Similarly roast the tomato.  Cool and peel off the charred skin. Use a wet hand to wipe away any stubborn bits.
2. Repeat the same step with the tomatoes.
3. Chop the gooseberries roughly and tomatoes into chunks and place in the mixer jar with all other ingredients.
4. Grind till you get a smooth but slightly chunky paste..do not grind into a fine paste. You can grind for 2-3 seconds at a time and check till you get the required consistency.
5. Chill and serve with chips/vegetables ..
