Glossary of Indian Ingredients
On the comments Jennifer had a good idea of a glossary for the ingredients as she had to look them up so here goes, any time you see ingredients in the recipes and your not sure what it is leave a message I would love to help. Before I meet my hubby I would have been clueless!
- mustard seeds- little black seeds very common in South Indian cooking, can get in Indian store
urad dal, also used to make dosa/idly
curry leaves can be found in Indian stores and grown in Florida they give a lovely flavor and aroma to cooking.
- Bengal gram- also known as a chick pea
I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Lots of good stuff!
ReplyDeleteThe company I work for has employed a vendor that does Business Analyst and Quality Control testing of out IT systems. Three of them work in my department and they took us to the South Indian restaurant in our city. What a joy to learn from the experts! The food was superb!
Great idea, I'm so glad you posted pics along with the items! Sometimes it's not always easy to tell what you're purchasing. Thanks!
