Indian Chilli Pickle Yoghurt & Popadums

Katie: ‘People always taste chillis at the tip but it’s better to taste them at the root. This is because this point is closer to the attachment to the plant, so it’s where it’s hottest as it contains more capsaicin. Lots of people have a favourite curry recipe, so I thought it would be nice to shine some light on the condiments that can be on the table at the same time. This pickle can be jarred, making it a good present for Christmas or birthdays.’
