I wanted to try my hand at some more authentic Indian cooking, and came searching for dry mango powder (Amchur), hing (asafoetida), and fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi). This place had it all and more! The shop owner was very kind in helping me locate the ingredients, and even offered some cooking tips.
