A blog on Mumbai - the city, its people, its culture. Three of us write here - my daughter Aishwarya, my mom Janaki, and I. If you like something, leave a comment!

Tamaraind , without seeds Green moong, chole, and garbanzo beans Lal toovar, udad, yello tuvar and channa dal Methi, dhania Sunt, Adrak, and miri pistachio, cardamom in the bottles in the top shelf its probably gundar in the bottle in the bottom shelf
is that jaggery in the corner next to the tamarind ?
I went to the Indian store yesterday, got a 2 pound bag of tuvar dal, put it in the boot and then went swimming. when i went back to home and retrieved the bag out of the boot i saw a bunch of creepies crawling around in the plastic bag. i wonder how this never (rarely??) happens in the kirana stores in India.
Yeah that's jaggery. In other shops they had it stacked in little mounds.
This is the spice market at Gol Deoul, near Chor Bazaar. The Mumbai Magic Chor Bazaar walk ends at Gol Deoul, so I was with some visitors, we were trying to identify everything that was there. This photo is only one *small* section of all the things in the shop! There must have been about 200 different things.

Mumbai Magic is on Nat Geo's Mumbai Destination Guide!
Here's what National Geographic has to say: "Cull cultural tips and highlights from this family's three-generational approach to Mumbai. The insightful photography and anecdotal writings stem from the three women's local expertise."
