Yes, Dev, the carrot relish is a very different dish.
The chef told me that it goes well with flavoured rice.
I tried it at home and it was a super combination.
Not only that, just put some in a chapathi and make a roll.
That too is very nice. Take care, Kugan98

Dev, in Malaysia, the famous dip for, vegetarian, or non- vegetarian, and also for steamed items , and also fried items is the famous chillie sauce.
Not bottled ones, but home made ones. I will try to get some different types and also milder ones. Thanks, Kugan 98

Thanks Dev, the chillie sauce can last about a week in the fridge.
Well Dev, talking about chillie, it brought back memories of spicy,
tapioca chips using chillie jam.
I will do it tomorrow and post the recipe.
Thanks, Kugan98

Kugan, very nice homemade chillie sauce. I used to buy bottled ones. I will be making mine soon. Beautiful egg plant roast. you have to eat it suda suda with the chillie sauce. mmm, so tasty. Kugan, I too love the spicy tapioca chips in chillie jam. i used to eat, bag after bag. it is like an additive. Oh, so nice if we can make our own. Shop bought ones will have shrimp paste added to it. Let me see how you make the vegetarian version. Thanks Kugan

Kugan, super recipes, I too will be making my own chillie sauce in future. Tired of the branded chillie sauces. Your brinjal slices would be super with rice.
Kugan, do you have a combination of brinjal and avarakkai peratal or poriyal as they call.
Thank you Kugan for all the super recipes. Rose75
