Shopping for Indian ingredients
These markets were recommended to us by Indian cooks. Most offer a selection of dry goods, some fresh produce, and refrigerated and frozen offerings. On weekends, many sell freshly baked breads, samosas, desserts, and chaat (snacks). Many of the ingredients in our recipes can be ordered from the Indian Foods Company or from Namaste.com (866/438-4642).
