• You can add very small tamarind to give sourness.depends on the tomato.
• You can replace coriander leaves in place of mint leaves to give different taste.But add more coriander leaves compared to mint.Bcoz mint have strong flavor rather than coriander.
• While you are blending use big blender bowl (depends on your quantity)Because to make paste it should need space other wise it will split all around.
