Our lives depend upon and revolve around food. We have come a long way in terms of creating food in different ways. Today, humans have technologies that make it easy to cook even the hardest of recipes. For home and professional cooks, they are probably in the right era. From Italian, Spanish to French and North Indian restaurants in Brisbane, everything is available easily.
The importance of condiments in Indian food
Chutneys or condiments are generally made with herbs, vegetables, or fruit and are a delight that can be spicy and sour or sweet and sour. It is prepared with fresh ingredients that are preserved with acid, either vinegar or citrus. Chutneys have a tendency to be eaten as sauces or dips with Indian snacks.
Also, a part of “chaats”, chutney or condiments adds heat and steadiness of sweet, sour, and zing that gives that famed ‘chaat patta’ ( the delicious, zingy slap in the mouth that you are searching for). Many Indian restaurants in Redland bay and other places must serve such a sidekick. You could ask them to make it for them if not available (which seems unlikely).
Mint chutney- There are some condiments that are very special for Indians all over the world. It is mandatory for some to have condiments with their food to enhance the taste buds even more. There are many ways to make it, but the crushed coriander leaf, garlic, and lemon paste with some salt and mint flavors are some of the favorites. It is quite a prideful extra in every household. And any North Indian cuisine of Alexandra hills and other places in the world must have it.
Tomato chutney- Made out of crushes tomato, sugar, Indian spices like red chili powder, turmeric is added along with other spices. It is a sweet condiment, the opposite of the mint chutney.
Lemon pickle- Achaar (or Indian pickles) can be prepared with pretty much every and any type of fruit or vegetable. Contrary to western pickles, which use only salt and sugar, Indian pickles are highly defined by the spices and oil used to protect the fruits or vegetables, whichever is used.
When you order food from an Indian takeaway in Brisbane, you can ask them for these condiments openly. They can give you some idea according to your taste preferences.
