Bolst Curry Powder (Mild)
Bolst Curry Powder Mild (100g, 3.53 oz) I’m loyal to Bolst curry powder because honestly it was one of first spice mixes I bought as my interest in cooking grew. I’ve tried several other brands which are all collecting dust. The initial appeal was the packaging. I love that it’s a canister which you get […]
Haldiram’s Karodpati
Haldiram’s Karodpati are a fun treat. Unlike several of the previously reviewed snacks, there is no amchur or similar spice to create a tang. This snack is all about crunch. Once again the primary ingredient is the tepary bean. The flavor is reminiscent of ganthia but with more spice. On a spice scale of 1 […]
Hybrid Snacks: Baked Beans + Hashbrown + Bhel Mix
At any given time I keep several foods on hand if I’m in a bind for a quick meal, among them are: Hash brown patties, baked beans, and bhel mix. When you combine the three together, you get salty from the hash brown and bhel and the sweet from the baked beans. Because of the […]
Snack #14: Haldiram’s Kashmiri Mixture

Snack #9: Karison’s Toasted Corn
I was looking for snacks to add into the weekly rotation and came across Karison’s Toasted Corn at Punjabi Deli. The small 5oz bag was only $2. It has a simple ingredient list of sweet corn, salt and canola oil. It’s also made locally in Flushing, NY too boot. They give you a great crunch. […]
Snack #8: Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia
Haldiram’s Aloo Bhujia, are we starting to get serious? This makes twice in a row I bought you over plain jane Bhujia at the legendary Punjabi Deli. Your flavor is extremely different. You have the familiar potato flavor profile but along with it you get a hint of mint (mint powder) and a pleasant citrus […]
Unrequited Food Loves: Britannia Cheese Spreadz Classic
In NYC we have access to practically any type of Indian food you could want. There is a short list of unrequited food loves that have not made it to this side of the world however. At the top of this unrequited list for me is Britannia Cheese Spreadz Classic. It was probably the first […]

Awesome Because: It’s highly addictive. It’s also fun to add into stuff like dal as well. Ingredients: It’s made from tepary beans, Gram Pulse Flour (Chickpea Flour), […]
