Hi ,I am from north west England and in my local TA,s and restaurants they sell a red sauce with poppadoms ,It looks like thin raspbery jelly but tastes nothing like it, It tastes sweet fresh and quite hot I think that it has mint in it but dont know what else Can any body help

[curryhell]

have  a look at this thread ligs.  Herein may lie the answer -  pakora sauce.  Hope it's what you're looking for or can be tweaked accordingly.  Let us know how you get on

The Taj of Kent serves something very similar, but theirs contains raw onion slivers; are there any solid particles in yours, or is it entirely liquid and clear/translucent ?

ligs,

best wishes from the north west too.

i like the sauce but have very little idea on how they make it so good. it's like a thin Chinese red sauce that's sort of clear red but containing chopped mint and coriander. the chilli is just right on the heat too.

there is no tamerind in the version i like. it could have mango puree but not a lot.

i really can't understand what the liquid "sauce" is - i will ask over Christmas at a place where i think i'll get a decent idea.

I sometimes make red pakora sauce, no yogurt, white vinegar,chilli powder,tomato ketchup,mint,sugar,salt . Some water to thin the mixture

It tastes very similar to some of my local bir dipping sauces. I havent came across any yet with other visible ingredients.

Leaving out the mint & adding garlic powder then heating makes a decent donner kebab sauce.

Regards
ELW

Hi all I am also trying to crack this nut This sauce is fantastic and I should imagine a small spoon of it would lift a curry to the heavens!
I have been out tonight for a BIR and questioned the owner, he has told me next visit he will tell me how to make this : well we shall see but I would like to see this sauce cracked.
Regards.
