Condiment Mela Round up ~ Part 1

Condiments are an essential part of Indian Meal. When you talk about a typical Thali in any region, some or all of the different condiments are always part of it. Spice powders, Pickles, Sauces, Jams, Vadams are some that surely highlight a meal.

When I announced Condiment Mela couple of months back, I didn't realize that the roundup will take time to up. 95 different entries came about and each one is worth to be tried. I will be doing a two part round up.

Next on the Mela series is the Soups and Salads Mela, be sure to send in your entries for that too. Meanwhile check out round up of Condiment Mela.
