Indian Dip question...

Velocity219e · 25 Apr 2006 at 18:26

Just having a discussion about indian food here ... but nobody I know seems to have any idea what one of the dips is called...

So we have Raita, Mango Chutney, little bits of veg and cucumber and stuff. and the mystery item, Red slightly flakey stuff which we suspect might contain coconut.

OcUK help us! what is the mystery 'red stuff'

nah, its a pinky red colour, good lime pickle usually has the colour of bile in my experience

Lime pickle is something I forget though :O

I love Lime pickle

Are the little red bits either chilli or peppers. Though if large enough they could be saffron bits too, though i'm not sure from your description?

I've had the stuff he's after & it's not lime pickle.
It's definitely got ground coconut in it, predominately coconut even. It's a dry dish so not really a chutney or pickle as such, it's not that spicy either

Probably not, you usually get a selection of these dips to go with poppadoms before a meal.

Edit. How do you spell pooppadom? Click!

Think you find it is lime chutney or pickle.

If it is cooked with aubergine it can be a little flaky and redish.

I have the recipe but it takes ages to make it.

I know exactly the dish he's talking about & it is definitely not lime chutney or pickle. It neither looks like it, tastes like it or contains lime

It's just like 'ground red coconut powder', with maybe a hint of red chillies

We have a winner, I asked the guy in the indian when we collected some food, It is in fact coconut chutney ... :O

its almost entirely coconut.

How weird
