- 1 inch piece ginger
- 2 tomatoes, sliced in to wedges
- 2 serrano peppers (optional, if you want the additional kick of spice. Use 1 red bell pepper and 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced, if you do not have mini peppers.)
- A generous pinch of Himalayan Black Salt (called "kaala namak" in Hindi and can be found in ethnic Indian grocery stores)
- Half a lime or lemon

Note: Himalayan Black Salt or "Kaala Namak" is actually pinkish in hue and is used in Ayurvedic medicine as a cooling digestive aid. You can find this easily in ethnic Indian grocery stores.
