I am after the recipe of the sauce which goes with your onions bhajis as you can't seem to buy the sauce from supermarkets. (closest they sell is Raitai but thats not the same!)

How do you make the same mint sauce as you get from an indian which goes with your Onion Bhajis?
the sauce in the take aways is usually just plain yoghurt with alittle milk added to it, mint sauce ie colmans, salt and thats it





somtimes they add cucumber.
Reply:quick and simple:


either finely chop some cucumber, and onion and stir it to some greek yoghurt with some mint sauce, or if no yoghurt stir them in to some mayonaise
Reply:You can puree some cucumber if you wish to or not if you dont, and add plain yoghurt and fresh mint (or some mint sauce, mix it together put it in the fridge to chill, easy peasy! (NOT LIKE THE ANSWER ABOVE-dont know what theyre thinking) lol It tastes just the same x
Reply:1/4 c. milk


4 fresh fennel or dill sprigs


1/2 tsp. salt


5 whole peppercorns


1 lemon, sliced


6 halibut steaks (6-8 oz. each)





CUCUMBER-YOGURT-MINT SAUCE


1 c. plain yogurt


3/4 c. finely chopped cucumber


1/2 c. chopped fresh mint


1/4 c. rice wine vinegar


1 tbsp. brown sugar


1 tbsp. white sugar





Fill a deep flame-proof pan, large enough to accommodate the all steaks, three-fourths full of water. Add the milk, fennel or dill sprigs, salt, peppercorns and lemon slices. Bring the poaching liquid to a low boil. Drop in the halibut steaks one at a time. When the liquid comes to simmer, lower the heat and let the fish simmer gently for 10 minutes. Drain the halibut and remove to a platter. Discard the poaching liquid. When completely cool, wrap fish in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.


Prepare Cucumber-Yogurt-Mint Sauce: Mix all ingredients together in a glass bowl. Cover and chill. Makes about 2 cups.





At serving time, arrange halibut on a chilled platter and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with extra mint leaves, if desired. Serves 6. Total precooking time: 40 minutes
