AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON SAUCES

Sauces are important because the sauce holds all the flavors in the recipe. Sauce makes the recipe exciting and unique. Sauce also determines the texture of the recipe. Although crunchy and dry recipes are completely lacking in a sauce, they may be garnished with one. Otherwise, the liquidity of the sauce determines the viscosity of the result. The sauce layer includes a mixture of water, oil, sweetener, sour, salty, and pungent tastes. Generally, ingredients in the sauce layer have taste, but lack a strong smell or aroma. Examples include water, olive oil, sugar, vinegar,salt, and black pepper.
