The Punjab

Once you have everything you need, Indian food is fun to prepare. Finding the perfect ingredients is the challenge. You have to a.) find the stores b.) make eye contact and communicate with the clerk, and c.) be able to know if what you just bought is fresh. How long has that paneer actually been refrigerated? Have those cardamoms, imported from somewhere with a very dissimilar alphabet, been in the bag for four years? The store we we in last night reminded me of India...cramped and full of fruit flies. We bought spices and refrigerated indian breads. Score.
