But as there is no real equivalent in the English language for chutney, I suppose sauce is a close enough approximation, though still confusing to <EM>natives</EM>. Seems like a NRI/Amrikan thing...<BR/><BR/>tamarind sauce? lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565046.post-1159336301198370532006-09-27T11:51:00.000+06:002006-09-27T11:51:00.000+06:00SuperKat: The minute you said kitchen, I felt the ...SuperKat: The minute you said kitchen, I felt the now-familiar stab of homesickness. I miss our Namaste House:( It's ridiculous how sick I am for the US. Ridiculous, but getting better:) Hope Grad school and work is going well!<BR/><BR/>R. Pereira: No wayy that no one in that coffeeshop didn't know what tamarind is! No way that me saying tamarind sauce wouldn't have made sense in anyyy Indian restaurant. Maybe sauce is a bit weird, maybe tamarind chutney, but I am sorry, that totally doesn't explain it. Indian people definitely know tamarind is, and you don't have to say Imli. Thanks for the Imli tip, I'll try it next time. It can be a samosa-based, sociological experiment:)<BR/><BR/>Toms: It's from Londanstani. This cool book I'm a readin'. They keep saying things like, "Khota" and thapparh..Go read it, it's like..good or something.

What is "poncey khota" and "Phendu" and "thapparh". Did you mean Thapdah as in slap? Is your hindi changing from bombay hindi to Banglorean gotala?<BR/><BR/>Foolish<BR/>http://www.vadakkan.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17565046.post-1159307832573287672006-09-27T03:57:00.000+06:002006-09-27T03:57:00.000+06:00It's called imli(=tamarind)chatni.

I think we use "sauce" for the factory-bottled stuff like tomato ketchup and Maggi's chilli-garlic etc., not homemade concoctions.<BR/>People rarely use English words for food, even if they exist, so people may not know what tamarIND is, even if it's native to India.<BR/>I'm from Bombay, now in North CarolinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
