Trivia

[Hardcore] Might surprise you asking 'Ketchup in authentic Indian food?', but it's one of the most popular condiments in Indian stalls/diners. Especially in Indian Chinese, many menus (like Manchurian) can't exist without this sweetness.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Usage] Splash ketchup heavily over super-spicy street food, devouring it while neutralizing tongue-piercing spice pain with junk sweetness!
