All About the Sauce

Hunting & Gathering

For those of you who are avid Thai or Indian food eaters, you'll have to agree that the struggle to find the best of the best in peanut sauce is real. Ideal for slathering over everything from chicken to rice to dumplings, the nutty sauce has to contain just the right amount of spice, the perfect peanut-butter-to-soy-sauce ratio and, of course, a consistency that rides the line between too thick and too soupy. For all your saucy longings, head directly to long-time Sarasota Indian food staple Chutney's Etc. and witness the glory of their peanut sauce offering. Creamy but not gloopy, spiced but not hot, sweet but not Jiffy—it's perfect. Order the peanut chicken and a bowl of the stuff will appear in front of you, tender bits of juicy chicken bobbing up to the surface, with a side of basmati rice waiting to be drenched. 

Chutney's Etc., 1944 Hillview St., Sarasota, 941-954-4444.
