Does anyone know what kind of sause goes best with Roti, I had some and it was with a brown sause?!
Answers: If you know any will you tell me how to make it?? thanks
Usually, rotis in India at least are eaten with curries, vegetables or dal.
The brown sauce sounds like tamarind or imli chutney. It's a wonderful sweet, sour and tangy taste. This is usually a condiment eaten with samosas, pakoras or snacks.
You could also buy this ready made in any Indian store. Maggi makes a imli sauce (similar to ketchup bottle) called Tamarina.
IMLI CHUTNEY:
Ingredients:
· ?-cup tamarind pulp (not concentrate)
· 1-cup water
· ? teaspoon cumin seeds
· ? cup dark brown sugar
· 4 slices of 1/8-inch ginger
· ? teaspoon salt
· ? teaspoon garam masala
Preparation:
Quantity: about 1 cup
In a 1-quart saucepan, combine tamarind pulp and water and boil together for 1 minute, stirring to break up the piece of
tamarind. Set aside for 15 minutes.
In a small frying pan, dry roast cumin seeds over medium heat until they turn brown. Remove from heat and grind into coarse powder.
Strain tamarind pulp through a dry clean cloth squeezing out the juice into a bowl. Throw away pulp and put the juice back in the saucepan. Add ground cumin, brown sugar, ginger, and salt and bring them to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer until mixture turns into thin syrup. Remove from heat, stir in garam masala, and remove ginger slices. Serve at room temperature. Can be refrigerated for up to two weeks. Goes great with samosa, cutlet, potato chops, pakauri, etc.
