Homemade Sauces & Desi Chutneys: Flavours from Sialkot

Sialkot is famous for leather, but ask anyone from the city what they miss most when they travel, and they will talk about the food — and especially about the sauces and chutneys made at home. Our homemade special sauces, traditional desi chutneys and organic pickled spreads are made the same way Sialkot families have always made them: small batches, fresh ingredients, and recipes that have been handed down, not written down. This is what we make, and how to order it for your store or brand.

Homemade special sauces

Our homemade special sauces are the everyday sauces that go with everything: barbecue, chilli, garlic, hot and sweet, plus smoky, peri peri, honey mustard, tandoori, chipotle and lemon herb. They are made to order in small batches, so the flavour stays fresh and the quality stays consistent from one order to the next.

A good example is the Special Sauce in Chipotle — smoky, warm and made to go with grilled food, burgers and wraps. Sauces are the easiest food product to sell because every customer already knows what to do with them: pour, dip, spread, and come back for more.

Traditional desi chutneys

Chutney is the heart of a desi meal. Our traditional desi chutneys cover the flavours every Sialkot kitchen knows: coriander, garlic, mango, mint and tamarind, plus green chilli, onion, tomato, plum, date, pomegranate, apple, carrot, beetroot and red chilli.

Each chutney has its own character. Coriander and mint are fresh and green, made for kebabs and snacks. Mango is sweet and tangy, tamarind is sharp and deep, and red chilli is for customers who like heat. The Chutney in Red Chilli is a good place to start if you want to taste the range — it is bold, honest and unmistakably desi.

Chutneys sell best as a set: a customer who tries one flavour usually comes back for two more. If you are a store, order a range, not a single flavour.

Organic & pickled spreads

Our organic and pickled spreads are the slow food of the range: chilli pickle, garlic pickle, lemon pickle, mango pickle and mixed pickle, plus green chilli, carrot, cauliflower, onion, lime, tomato, beetroot, ginger, turnip and aubergine pickles. Pickles take time — the flavours need to develop — and that is exactly why they taste the way they do.

Pickles suit a different customer from sauces: someone who cooks at home, who wants a jar that lasts, and who cares about traditional flavour. They are a strong product for desi grocery stores and for online food sellers.

How to serve them

Chutneys and pickles are at their best with simple food. Serve coriander and mint chutney with kebabs, samosas and parathas. Pair mango chutney with grilled chicken or a cheese platter. Spoon tamarind chutney over chaat or use it as a dip. Pickles go with daal and rice, with parathas, or on the side of any desi meal — a small spoonful is enough, because the flavour is strong. Sauces are the most flexible of all: barbecue and hot sauce with grilled meat and burgers, garlic sauce with wraps and shawarma, honey mustard as a dip or a sandwich spread. Keep opened jars in the fridge and use a clean, dry spoon each time, so they stay fresh to the last spoonful.
