Masala Pepper Sauce
A thick pouring, medium-hot chili pepper sauce created to compliment any Indian cooking, or
just spice up soups, eggs, rice, or anything you can handle. Masala Pepper Sauce
blends fresh and dried Indian peppers, cider vinegar carrots, beets, garlic,
ginger, and a range of Indian spices and Himalayan salt. This sauce lends heat
tempered by sweet and savory ingredients that call to mind Indian nights, listening
to ragas under a Deccan moon, as the smell of food cooked over fires fills us
with memories of an ancient past.
The Pepper Road™: a name
for the many routes taken by traders who spread hot chili peppers from the Carribean
Islands, Central and South America to the rest of the world. By sea and by land,
traders and explorers brought chili peppers (and seeds) wherever they went.
Within a few short decades after the Spanish found the New World, the Old World
cuisine would never be the same. In every land, chili lovers created new and
varied methods for preparing and preserving chili pepper sauces to easily add
to cooking, even when fresh peppers were no longer available.
