So digging deeper into this I understand the sauce to be

"lal achar".

The main ingredients are mango, green chilli, tamamrind, lime And few of chefs secrect ingredients.

Still looking for the recipe. Hope this helps.

P.S. This was from the Shamrat in Maidstone, a fine place to eat.

Thanks for your replies.

Found it.

Thanks all for your replies. Will give them both a go.

My favourite Indian in the UK was the Shamrat in Maidstone where this sauce is served.

Hi,

Just joined, love curry of course.

I have been searching for years for a recipe for a dip we used to have in blighty with Poppadoms. Poppadoms were always served with four dips, lime pickle, onion dip, mango chutney and a hot red quite thin dip. It is the last dip I am keen to know the name of and if possible the recipe.

Wrote to Pat Chapman and he was kind enough to reply but the search goes on.
