this was really great. simple ingredients and a great flavor. guests loved it. i plan to make it again without tomato, just because i have no more, a friend is allergic.

this is a really tasty relish to temper the heat of curries. this is made very often by my mom and sisters back home too.

We really enjoyed this relish with our butter chicken. They went so well together. I was a bit concerned about the sugar in it, it seemed a lot, but it brought the other flavours out better I think. Thanks for another great recipe Sue.

This is one of our favourite accompaniments which we enjoy during the summer months. I do use less green chillies, about 1 at the most, because we don't like very spicy food. The lemon juice adds a beautiful flavoour to this recipe!
