I saw this dish and thought; sounds good! I’ll give it a try! Are you like me and thought, I should like Indian food but had a hard time convincing your taste buds of that fact? I tasted the sauce and wow! That is spicy! Read more I need something to tone this down some. What would work for that? I fixed my version of a Tzatziki sauce I know, is this guy insane? Well two out of three doctors might …alright have agreed with you, but the jury is still out. That is why I can still use a computer. About this time you are saying to your self “What a fool that is what Chutney is for!” Well you are probably right but I had a real bad experience with Chutney once, I still have night mares. I was in this bar years ago listening to this little known band called Lynard Skynard. Honest I thought Chutney was her maiden name! Then this big bruiser came in and the next thing was me drowning out the band yelling “Just give me three steps!” as I headed toward the door! See less
