What: Aruna’s home-made ginger chutney, call Anoop Patnaik at 9819915112 or visit the Facebook page here, Rs 180 for 250 gms.

Why: Because this traditional condiment from Andhra Pradesh – Allam Pachchadi – has sweet and spice and all things nice. It can be paired with everything from a BLT sandwich to a dosa, but we like it best with plain dal and rice. Also in the works is a prawn version, and one made from the gungura sour leaf. Take your pick(le)!

When: You’re striving for a sour-glass figure.
