Tomato Nammi

　　Tomato Nammi, a sauce made from tomatoes, is a distinctive dish of the Dai people. To prepare it, tomatoes are roasted over charcoal, peeled, and placed in a bowl. Then, ingredients such as scallions, garlic, chili peppers, coriander, and salt are added. The mixture is pounded and stirred until smooth and ready to eat. It has a tangy, spicy, and fragrant taste and is commonly served as a dip for fried cowhide, mint, bitter bamboo shoots, and other dishes, offering a particularly delicious flavor. (Xishuangbanna)
