    Your pakora looks FAB. I've been making my own for many years now and we love it. I've even made haggis pakora and black pudding as well as vegetble and of course chicken. Similar recipes but a slightly different style. I'll certainly try it your way Cheryl, thank you sooo much for sharing xx

    Moved from the west to Edinburgh about 13 years ago and there was only ONE takeaway near me that did the pink sauce. That shut down about 10 years ago and I've been without it ever since. I'm so glad I've come across this recipe and can't wait to try it!

    Being from Glasgow and living in the US for years, I’ve been making the pink sauce since I came here to have with Indian takeouts and especially on a gyro, which was what was on a gyro in Glasgow, at least way back. Don’t like tzatziki sauce on my gyro, which is what they serve here in the US. Sometimes have snuck the pink sauce in with me to a restaurant. Its actually quite good on a baked potato. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸
