Topic: The three or four dips you get with papadoms

[Papa Dom]

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?

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,

2 normal onions chopped finely
tomato ketchup - 6 tablespoons to cover the onions
half teaspoon of mint sauce - colemans
half teaspoon of red chilli powder

mix all together

add 1 tablespoon mango chutney

dash of red food colouring and mix - put in the fridge for 1 houe - done !!!

gives u spiced onions and poppadums - the way they are meant to be eaten - not your english rubbish with several pickles  !
