Arrange tomato slices on a platter. Sprinkle with lime juice. Warm oil in a small pot over moderate heat. Add cumin, fennel & chili pod, cook for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, discard pod & cool. Whisk in the cilantro; spoon seasoned oil over tomatoes. Season with salt & pepper & serve. If it sits, the flavour will intensify.
