This is an authentic traditional Goan Breakfast dish, that is served in all Goan homes as well as local restaurants, made using onions and tomatoes. It is served with Pao (Goan Bread). There is a local restaurant near my home in Goa, which serves the best salahd/ Salad bhaji I have eaten, and it is a must have dish for me whenever I’m on vacation in Goa.
