Title: The three or four dips you get with papadoms
Post by: Papa Dom on August 26, 2010, 08:13 PM
Nearly all restaurants I've eaten at have provided 3 or 4 'dips'/side dishes to go with starters especially papadoms.

Here I list the main ones I've come across:

1. A salad of onions with a few other bits & pieces included.
2, Mango Chutney.
3. A yellow coloured, fairly liquid dip. Guess this is yoghurt+saffron/turmeric + ?
4. A lime pickle, sometimes notably sweeter than the very sharp (and hot) chutney from, say, Sharwoods.





Does anybody have any recipes or ideas on how to prepare these dishes?

I read number 3 as 'fairy liquid' :o the version we have locally contains mint as well ;)

My local restaurant does the following,

1. Finely chopped onions, cucumber, tomato and a little mint
2. Mango Chutney bought in 20 kilogram tubs, a little water added with a touch of orange colour powder and blended,
3. Yoghurt mint sauce, they make their own yoghurt, colemans mint, sugar, mango chutney and milk to make it to the right consistency,
4. Mixed pickle from Pataks in the catering sized tubs,

Cheers,
Mick

4, where I come froma t least, is basically modified sweet chilli sauce (thanks to UncleFrank and Razor for that one).

The mango chutney is the cheap stuff from your local supermarket.

Chop a tomato into four, remove the inner seeds then chop into small pieces.
Chop a three inch piece of cucumber into four and again remove the soft inner seed part.

The reason for doing this is that it stops the onion salad from being too sloppy.

Next, chop half an onion very finely.

Mix together and add some freshly chopped Coriander :)

Mint sauce is as simple as this.

Some youghurt, add a little water to make it runny, add some fresh chopped mint, 1 tsp sugar and some green food colouring :)
