Tomato ketchup is the go-to condiment for French fries, burgers, sandwiches, and fried chicken. It is also used while cooking dishes as a substitute for tomatoes.
Vinegar
Vinegar mainly comprises acetic acid. It is a constant in Chinese cuisine and is also used in pickling. It adds a tangy taste to dishes and is also widely used as a cleaning agent at home.
Soy sauce
Traditionally prepared with fermented soybean paste, brine, and aspergillus oryzae (a fungus), soy sauce contains a strong umami flavor. It is widely used in Indianized Chinese dishes.
Mustard sauce
Mustard sauce retains the pungent flavor from the paste of fermented mustard seeds. This popular dipping sauce goes well with fried snacks like cutlets and chops.
Pickles
Indians have a special love for their achaar (pickle). From our regular vegetable pickle to lime pickle to mango pickle to mutton pickle, there's something for everyone.
