Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use green tomatoes that are ripe but still firm for best results. Avoid using overripe or soft tomatoes as they may not hold up during the roasting process.
- Adjust the amount of chilli flakes or seeds based on your preferred heat level. Start with less and add more if desired.
- For best flavor, use fresh mint from the market or grow your own. Dried mint can be used as a substitute but will alter the flavor profile slightly.
