Title: Poppadom Accompaniments
Post by: mustapharuby on September 30, 2006, 12:30 PM

Does any one have any authentic recipes for the accompaniments that compliment the famous poppadom?

The two I most like are the 'Onion with mint' and a red dry coconut type.

I always have onion salad with my currys and make it like this:

1 Onion(chop how you like it every BIR i've been to is different)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Teaspoon salt(or to taste)
1 Teaspoon of mint sauce
1 Teaspoon chopped fresh coriander

Mix together in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge.

You can also add some chopped tom's and cucumber if you wanted.

I make my own mint chutney:  a small tub of natural yogurt
                                                  2tsp of mint sauce
                                                 a pinch of chilli powder
                                                 a pinch of garam masala
                                                 1/2 tsp of sugar
   
You can also add a touch of green food colouring but I don't usually bother unless I am in full 'restaurant mode'!                                 

...thats it, put it in the fridge for an hour or 2 before serving and it is delicious with papadoms and starters! :P
