Cookd masalas for tomato
Method
Deseed and dice the tomatoes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, basil, and olive oil to the diced tomatoes, adding the vinegar is optional since tomatoes are acidic naturally.
Allow the tomatoes to seep the juices for 10 mins.
Toast the baguette slices until golden brown and crispy, with some olive oil.
Rub each slice with a pod of garlic to impart some extra flavour.
Top with the tomato mixture, spoon over the juices and garnish with basil sprigs.
