Introduction

Kasundi is a rich, thick and decadently spiced tomato relish of sorts hailing from India. If you have tomatoes in their peak season (bonus for super-flavourful heirlooms) this is a great way to preserve them! Stir it into eggs and rice, spread onto sandwiches, or use as a killer sauce on steak or roasted meats. Kasundi is a rich, thick and decadently spiced tomato relish of sorts hailing from India.
