These are the 3 hot sauces I enjoy
From left to right their purposes(for me) are Mexican/Hispanic food, Mexican Hispanic/Most other foods, and East Asian food
Can you recommend other sauces I should try?
Can you recommend a sauce that specifically goes well with Indian and/or Pakistani food?
Thanks

Yes you do.
I’d say add the green Tabasco. It’s has really become a staple hot sauce. Many people have strong opinions on original Tabasco, but the green one seems universally accepted.
Try Valentina if you haven’t.
Trader Joe’s habanero
## yellow bird blue agave siracha is hands down my favorite all rounder hot sauce it’s perfect!
other recommendations:
– hot ones los calientes and barbacoa are the best ones imo
– el yucateco – they have a bunch choose what you like
– valentina black label is my preferred taco condiment
– crystal is the best vinegar based sauce especially for fried chicken and hash browns
– frank’s red hot for wings classic
– if you want to go extra smoky and spicy id recommend adoboloco’a fiya fiya
– nandos also do decent ones
Melinda’s chili garlic sriracha is a daily driver for me. Other favorites of mine:
Hippy dippy green, not very hot but top notch on Mexican food.
Blind Betty’s original: hotter than those three but has the most unique flavor I’ve ever had in a hot sauce, my personal #1.
Valentina yellow label is a very worth alternate to Cholula.
Queen majesty’s has some good sauces.
Edit: Torchbearer is amazing. All of their stuff from mild to super hot is good.
Bollywood by La Pimenterie is great for Indian food.
I love the mild Taco Bell sauce. That flavor is so good on almost anything savory
Psycho Curry from torchbearer.
Anything from El Yucateco. I like the green habanero the best.
Literally anything else. Melinda’s. Matouks. Local sauces.
Marie Sharp’s
You definitely need some help. I would recommend following this sub and looking at past posts. There’s too many to suggest. Pick your heat tolerance, flavor preference, and go from there. Good luck!
Secret Aardvark Habanero hot sauce. Light tomato flavor, so it works perfectly with any dish that needs tomatoes!
Perrera, Melinda’s, Yucateco, Tabasco Scorpion (hot): Latin
Louisiana -style: Crystal Extra Hot, Tabasco
Crystal is my all time favorite, can put it on anything. Tapatio and Valentina are also great if you love Cholula.
No snobbery needed. That’s a solid starter pack.
A good way to branch out is if there’s a grocery store in your area that sells a variety of small bottles.
you need a louisiana hot sauce in the rotation
Lots of good suggestions on here. One I don’t see is Sauce Bae habanero with turmeric. I really like that one with Indian food.
Gringo bandito
Oh boy you are in for a treat
I’m kinda lame and usually stick with one hot sauce at a time.. I’ve been using valentina because I got 1L of it for $3.00
Crystal, yucateco, cry baby craigs, tabasco.
Also Hot ones has a tropical amirillo thats a scotch bonnet curry, quite good
I like a nice sweet/spicy verde on eggs as well. Don’t overlook the greens
Check out your local African market and ask for chili
