I will call this recipe Tomat illa (illa means “not available” in Kannada) Verde Salsa. As Tomatillo (pronounced “toe-mah-TEE-yo”) is not available in India, I prepared this using Raw Tomato as it looks very similar to Tomatillo. About the taste, I am not sure whether it is the same. Anyway, this sauce with Jalopeno / Shimla Mirchi poppers tasted just right.
