I'd never heard of it before either.<br /><br />FC - lucky you to be so near such good food!<br /><br />Brilynn - I didn't think to taste some on it's own to see what the flavor is like. I'll have to do that after dinner.<br /><br />Tanna - with all the other stuff going on, I didn't really notice it.<br /><br />Morgan - thanks so much for all your advice. The Superstore is growing on me lately, I've been doing more shopping there. I did find that store on Fairmount and it's pretty cool - I'm working on a post about it this week. I have a co-worker who loves Indian food too and it's embarassing how much of our time we spend talking about it!<br />I would LOVE your naan recipe, thanks!!!!!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519799778366176741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-44130476133725325992007-01-29T07:38:00.000-08:002007-01-29T07:38:00.000-08:00John (who is the Indian expert in the house) decla...John (who is the Indian expert in the house) declares that amchur is manditory in certain foods, like stuffed parathas. (pan fried breads stuffed with spiced potatoes) I'm not as sure. I have noticed it's normally with potatoes, which don't have a ton of flavour of their own.<br /><br />As for shopping, Superstore is amazing - you can buy almost everything there. Sometimes. You know what a crapshoot shelf stocking is there. My Indian cooking instructor gets most of her stuff there. Most of the good Indian grocery stores are deep in to the north east. There is one I like, Spice World, on 17th Ave and about 56th, by the Zellers, along "international avenue". If you go to the Bombay Sweet House (deep north, but totally worth the drive), there is a nice little store right beside called, I think, A-1 Spices, that has a great collection of food and Bollywood vidoes. I have heard rumour of one on Fairmount Drive SE, but don't know for sure. It's the only one I've every heard of in the south though.<br /><br />Wow. Can you tell that a) we cook Indian food all the time and b) spend way too much time thinking about it?<br /><br />Oh, I have a great naan bread recipe - let me know if you want it. It doesn't require a clay oven, which is nice. :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173746904946406303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310300.post-23213213558208031662007-01-28T20:27:00.000-08:002007-01-28T20:27:00.000-08:00Fantastic!
