1. Kaatil 

Just like the name, Kaatil Sauce is here to slay with its condiments. The brand claims to give you hot sauces that do not make you run for water but give a sense of fulfilment of spice and tanginess after having them. Their sauces are numbered based on the heat level they produce. The No. 4 Sauce with Guntur and Byadgi chillies starts flavourful, slowly teasing your tastebuds, turns sweet, and then ambushes you with lingering heat. The No. 7 Sauce is the spiciest of the lot made with lavangi mirchi giving a heating sensation and slowly disappearing after the initial spice. You can also go for their Hot Ketchup No. 2  made with Sankeshwari mirchi.
