Spice Waala is an Indian street food restaurant in Seattle with locations in Capitol Hill, Ballard and Columbia City neighborhoods. They serve authentic flavors from the streets of Calcutta & New Delhi and we are lucky enough to get to carry their chutneys, chili crunch and mango pickle in our store 🤤
The Tamarind Chutney is a delicate sweet and savory spice mix that compliments a variety of foods. Use it as a dipping sauce, salad dressing, or to coat food items. In cheese pairing, try it with an aged Gouda, an Alpine-style cheese, or a buttery triple cream bloomy-rind cheese.
The Cilantro Chutney is so good that The Seattle Times once wrote, “is so good, you’ll want to dip your life into it.” Made with cilantro, onion, garlic, chili peppers & salt - this chutney is your perfect addition to any meal. We want to pair it with cheeses like Mrs. Kirkham’s Lancashire, a soft, fresh cheese, or Mozzarella di Bufala.
Spice Waala’s take on chili crunch is flavorful, crunchy, and really brings the heat. While more traditional takes might be to use this on lentils, eggs, pizza, rice dishes, or ice cream, we would pair this Chili Crunch with soft, fresh cheeses like Shepherd’s Hope and Crescendo, drizzle it over a plump little ball of Burrata, or use it top an Alpine-style cheese like Pleasant Ridge Reserve or Comte.
Finally, Mango pickle is a delicious Indian condiment traditionally made from green mangos in a blend of spices. According to Spice Waala, “Mango Pickle (aka Achar) is a beautiful blend of spices, sweetness and the tangy unripen mango. Use it to spice up any meal from a simple lentil stew to salads and anything in between. Every home in India has their own recipe for achar and we are proud to present you ours.” Spice Waala’s Mango Pickle has a lovely appearance and thinly sliced texture, and it brings some bangin’ heat (as in spiciness!)
We especially love Mango Pickle paired with English milled-curd cheeses like Mrs. Kirkham’s Lancashire, Isle of Mull Cheddar, and Urban Stead’s Street Ched Clothbound cheddar, of which we just brought a wheel into the shop!
