Condiments - Indian
 |
Chutney Any number of sweet and/or spicy sauces, used in Indian dishes. As with any country, local versions vary by region. Among the popular ingredients: coconut, chilis, tamarind, mango, mint and tomato. (Not all at once, of course...) Would I try again? Course... |

Masala A general term, referring to any complex mixture of spices. As with chutney, you can't speak of only one type of masala...there are variations. Lots of 'em. Would I try again? But of course... |
 |
Raita A yogurt (dahi) sauce, mixed with herbs, and spices. (In America, it's often paired with cucumber.) Served as a cooling side condiment, and available in most every Indian restaurant.... Would I try again? Oh, every once in awhile (if only it didn't have yogurt...) |

Sev -
Indian Deep fried little noodles, made from chickpea flour. Tiny little crunchy things, often poured over snack (chaat) type dishes, such as Sev Puri (hence the name.) Would I try again? Well, these are really more condiment style items...they're not miraculously tasty, but I wouldn't be adverse to trying them in any new dishes. Where I found it: Any Indian restaurant offering Chaat. |
