Tomato Rougaille
“Rougaille Pomme d'amour” which translates as Tomato Rougaille in english, is widely used as an accompaniment to many Indian dishes. Global Table Adventure describes this dish in the best possible way, truly... when they say:
"Until you take a bite. Then you realize, this is more complex than you could have ever known. This “rougaille” is … unusual.
