Hi HS,

I don't use lemon dressing, I just use natural lemon juice from squeezed fresh lemons

You're welcome

have started prep.

local shop owner suggested making my own nagga sauce (he hand no branded but had the chillies).

had not bought nagga before and assume they are pukka. one thing for sure i have found the missing ingredient for vindaloo. in past have never been able to get lip burn at home - these chillies certainly do that.

this sauce really gels with me - the flavour is all chilli and just a little burn when in the juice. i can see me using it a lot.

nagga sauce:

2 off nagga (cut tops off and deseed)
400 ml tin toms
lemon dressing 5 ml

stick blend in tall plastic jug container to keep splashings out of harms way.

the green sauce i'm not sure on. it's sort of quite dry or sour. i'd normally be tempted to add salt or sugar but conscious these are already added from the base and the dish recipe.

again the shop owner said to make. pick out by eye coriander and mint so that the coriander is 1/3rd of the mint. then remove stalks (thin coriander stalks don't need removing) add rest of ingredients then blend. i left the seeds in 2 off of the chilli but removed from the rest.

green sauce:
fresh mint leaves 20g (40g as bunch)
fresh coriander leaves 7g (11g bunch)
thin green chilli 3 off
thin red chilli 2 off
1 off fresh tomato (i used 200 ml chopped tinned)
water 100 ml (just enough to help the blending)

had real good time shopping and making - many thanks chewy and the boss.

Hi Jerry
Your stirling efforts inspired me to get cracking myself.

First I made the Green Chutney, which is pungent and an Indian Classic.

Then I turned it into a much milder dipping sauce by adding the
Mango pulp, really nice, sweet with a slight green chilli after taste.

CHEWYS HARI CHUTNEY
into CORIANDER MINT MANGO SAUCE

1 Bunch fresh coriander, top half, keep the stalks for the Freezer.

Roughly about half the amount of fresh mint leaves

2-inch lump of fresh ginger, skinned and chopped

3 green chillies, topped and deseeded

3 tbsp Lemon Dressing or Lime

Salt, to taste

A little Water, as needed

Blitz all ingredients till it forms a smooth fine paste, adding a little water if necessary.

Use it as is, mix it with yogurt, add it to a salsa or soft cheese spread,
or add 1 raw mango, chopped or 250ml of Mango Pulp and turn it into
great dipping sauce for your samosas and pakoras etc...

Store in a airtight jar in the fridge, should keep for a few days.

cheers Chewy

hotstuff,

any brand of lemon dressing. i use KTC down to what the shop stocks.

it is getting to the finer point of "curry" and not an essential but the dressing is quite different to lemon juice. i used to use lemon juice and would not go back.

the lemon dressing is not as harsh. from the ingredients its a watered down version with added sugar and some citric acid giving a nice liveliness. i can drink a spoon of dressing but not the otherway round.

Chewy,

i like your recipe much better for sure and will adopt. the better balance of the coriander will make a huge improvement.

i'm all set for cooking Saturday.

this dish did not disappoint. a real big thankyou to Chewy and the boss.

i put sylheti on the yellow sticky recipe but have now put bahar.

the green Hari is crazy. it should not work but it does. i will still go for Chewytikka's recipe going forward though.

the naga sauce is a real gem - i ended up adding 2 extra tsp (3 off in total).

this recipe is a personal fav and is a keep. special for sure.
