   Hi Jay,

   Roasted cumin powder is made by dry roasting cumin seeds on a skillet until they are fragrant, cooling them and then grinding them into a powder. The taste is different than the raw powder. Roasted cumin powder is mainly used when there is no further cooking involved in a recipe.

   Hi Arthi,

   Jalapenos add flavor as well as bulk but if you don’t get them, you can definitely use regular green chilies. Be careful…regular chilies tend to be spicier than jalapenos.

    WOW! Your salsa recipe is so quick and dirty, I love it. My mom makes it too but it’s a lengthier process.

    Hi Deepal,

    You can use pickles jalapenos or use any other fresh green chili. Jalapenos let you use more without too much heat so if you use other types of green chili, you may have to use less.

    I want to thank you for helping to make Indian cooking easy for this American housewife. I have been married to an Indian for 28 years. My dear mother-in-law gave me a cookbook that was in English but used measurements and terms that I was not familiar with. You have demystified cooking Indian food and made it far far less intimidating than it was before. My husband is so happy that I now can make the food that we both dearly love. Since we live in a small Texan town, I generally have to stock up on spices and ingredients when we go to one of the metroplexes in the Texas. I am even considering growing a curry plant/tree in a big pot in the house so that I can use fresh curry leaves.
    Thank you for helping me to make the food that my husband loves so much.
    Cheers!

    hii hetal n anuja,

    Can u tell me whether mexicans serve this with rice? is it like a curry?

    Hi Sandhya,

    No, salsa is basically served like a chutney, not a curry. You can add a little salsa to your Mexican Rice but it really will not taste good with plain white rice.

    Hi Mythily,

    Bell pepper has a distinctly different taste than jalapeno pepper. If the level of spiciness is the problem, you can de-seed the jalapenos. If they are not available, then you can substitute another type of green chili.

    Hi Anuja & Hetal

    Sounds very easy! Thanks to you both

    Before trying this one I wanna know -

    1. Is tomato sauce and tomato puree one and the same thing? If not then -

    2. Is it similar to regular tomato ketchup sauce?

    Please advise me how and where can I find this in UK?
    Hope to get a reply soon!
    Thanks…

    Hi Rohini,

    The difference between tomato sauce, tomato puree and tomato paste is most notable the consistency and depth of flavor. Tomato sauce is the thinnest, followed by tomato puree and finally tomato paste…the thickest. The thicker the product, the more depth of flavor and flavor concentration. Additionally, tomato sauce is sometimes flavored with spices and herbs. You can usually substitute tomato sauce with tomato puree.

    Tomato ketchup is a completely different product and cannot be used as a substitute for either.
