Our Brand New ACCELERATED Fat Loss Diet!I am trying to make or buy the type of sauce that is usually served with samosas in Indian restaurants. It is green & spicy. Any ideas? I thought it might be a chutney but most of them on the shelves at the grocery store are fruit chutneys and what I'm looking for is not fruity.

if you go to a Indian store and ask, they would probably know it.

It could be the lovely dried-lemon chutney!

it's either mint or cilantro (or a mix) chutney. In a blender, add fresh cilantro/mint, juice of half a lemon or lime, salt & pepper, a few thai bird chillies (to taste), some chopped garlic & a little water. Blend until you get the right consistency, may need to add more water. It is a fresh chutney & usually sold in the refrigerated section in Indian grocery stores. It wont last on the shelf.
Another trick, to get a smoother & slightly heigtened taste is to add a few pieces of Granny Smith apple.
The dark brown chutney(IMLI) is made from tamarind, it has a distinct sweet/sour & slightly spicy flavor. This is readily available in all Indian stores.

The green sauce generally served with samosas is a mint sauce with a green chillie or two added to make it spicy,a clove or two of garlic can also be added,add salt & blend ,if thin it could be called a sauce but since it is an accompaniment to samosa it is called a chutney & is usually made fresh,for tartness lemon juice can be added,if a thicker version is wanted a small bit of fresh coconut is included in the blended ingredients.

Blend together, mint leaves, coriander leaves, little fresh ginger, some garlic, 1 green chilli, deseeded, and add chat masala, which would be available in the indian store in a bottle.
for sweet and sour sauce, blend dates, seedless, or deseeded, and tamarind pulp, with a corsely ground cumin seeds powder, salt, and serve.
