Indian dips for poppadoms

JIL

My very favourite part to an Indian meal is the poppadoms and chutneys and dips.
I can make the raita with cucumber, mint sauce and yoghurt. I also make a salad with red onion, tomatoes and coriander leaf. Then I resort to opening jars of mango chutney.
As the weekend is approaching and Saturday is the best night for a curry does anyone have any other ideas for quick, simple and cheap ideas or recipes for accompaniments?
Thank you

I saw a lemon pickle on Jamie Olivers programme the other day, could't believe how easy it looked. So I have the lemon in the fridge purchased for it, but can't vouch for its success.

If you can make chutney, you'll be able to make any kind of poppadom dip.
Use anything you fancy but cut it chunky and make sure you use plenty of coriander (seed or ground) and cumin if you like it. Tamarind gives a fruity sourness and fenugreek seeds taste of authentic curry.
You could also make a chilli jelly if you like it hot - with sugar, vinegar and chillies.
All of these jar well if you have curry regularly.

I love South Indian food, especially masala dosas - my favourite chutney is the coconut and coriander one that goes with dosas. There are lots of recipes online, such as:

I also love the hot sambar sauce that you get as well - there's a good recipe from Prashad, one of my favourite restaurants here: http://www.prashad.co.uk/blog/stay-snug-bowl-sambar-autumn

For a very simple, quick dip I sometimes just mix some ground cumin with yoghurt, to taste (about a teaspoon to a cup of yoghurt)

Getting hungry just thinking about it - a curry night could be in order here too!
