Just out of curiosity, what did you order that was too salty?

Some things in Indian cuisine are meant to be very salty, so just want to check to see whether or not it was actually a fuck up or what.

I wrote further upthread, samosas with lamb! The crust was the salty part.

Hmm. Was there a chutney that they came with? Sometimes they are served with a tamarind chutney that is sort of like a sweet and sour sauce, so they might have made the crust extra salty to accommodate that sourness?

That's the only thing I can think of.

They came with... ketchup. I don't like ketchup very much so I didn't use it, but that could be the reason.

Yeah, that's definitely the reason. They are really meant to be eaten with something that's sweet and sour (like exceptionally tangy- tamarind is very sour).

I've had samosas both with and without the tamarind sauce, and I've never found them too salty without the sauce either? (Greasy, yes, but not super salty.)

That's fair. Just saying there could have been a reason other than it being a fuckup. I'm not the chef; I don't know what the process was.

Yeah, it's hard to tell over the internet, could be either.

I'll stay on the safe side then and assume it's my own fault. The rest of the food was great, so I'm not gonna rate them bad for me not knowing what a dish would taste like.


Thanks for the help!

Yeah i've definitely never had salty samosas, but maybe they altered the recipe for a different palette, idk.

The last time I ordered samosas, I thought they were pretty salty. So maybe they are just meant to be that way?
