  1. Dear Manjula, I prepared rhubarb chutney it s really tasty and I already addicted to this. I am even planting from seeds this plant hope it comes out. The park where I volunteer have this plant that is how I started looking for different recipes. I tried rhubarb crumble which tastes very good too. You can also prepare juice. All my friends love it. Thank you Sunanda.

  2. Dear Manjula,

  6. This may sound silly . . . but I am very serious. Can you please tell =HOW= to eat some of these foods! They look wonderful but . . . Is this meant to be spread in Indian bread, do you =dip= something into it, do you put it inside something and roll it up? If one is used to eating these foods there is no problem. But for one who has not eaten them, some “instructions” — for =ALL= your foods — could be helpful.

    1. hi Jim,
      yes you are right for someone who has not eaten these foods its tough to guess how to eat them 🙂
      If you are talking about curries/dry veges, you can roll them up in indian bread or tortillas and can top it with relish/chutneys for extra flavors and enjoy.
      If the entree is with gravy/sauce , one can roll the dry roti/tortilla take a bite and have a spoon of gravy with that. You can also eat them with plain white/brown rice by simply adding the gravy to it and mix them with spoon and enjoy.
      The relish in this particular video serves the purpose of pickle/dip which we Indians eat with our main food as condiment for extra tastes and flavors.
      Enjoy!!

    2. hi jim……the thing u feel for india food is same i feel for western worlds food…..i have tried to update myself lot…….above reply for your question is right…..but if at all u dont have indian bread …u can use simple sandweech bread also…….spread some on it and njoy…..i have never tried this on tortilla so cant say how it tastes…..but i eat relish/pickels with simple store bought bread
