Spring Roll Dipping Sauce

Dipping Sauce in Marathi

Hot Dipping sauce for Spring Rolls.

I tried a lot to prepare a perfect dipping sauce for sprig rolls, wantons and other Chinese starters. And this combination, accidentally prepared with available ingredients stand out as the best of the lot. You can also use this sauce to cook tasty fried rice. The recipe uses good amount of oil and chilies, so a cup is enough for around 5 people for dipping.

Ingredients:
3 tbsp oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp sugar
Water, for mixing and grinding the spices
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 cup Tomato paste
1/4 cup onion finely cut
1/4 cup green onion finely cut
1 tsp garlic paste
4-5 Dry Red Chilies, cut
Salt
Black pepper powder, freshly ground
Red Chili Powder, if required

Method:
1) Mix together tomato paste, Red Chilies, salt, half of the onion, ginger paste, garlic cloves. Use canned or ready made tomato paste, fresh tomatoes will change the dipping sauce taste and color completely. Grind all the above ingredients with little water to prepare red paste.
2) Heat the oil; add remaining half of the onion, green onion quickly. We don’t want to cook onions, as raw-half cooked onions add crunch and texture to the sauce.
3) Add Soy Sauce & Sugar. Stir in quickly and add the prepared red paste.
4) Cook the paste till it leaves oil.
5) Add Vinegar. Turn of the heat.
6) Taste the sauce after some time. It should taste spicy and extreme hot. Adjust salt, vinegar and red Chili powder if required. Add black pepper powder. Mix well.
