I enjoy your respectful way of writing about food. Here in Finland, we don't get many of the ingredients (especially fresh vegetables) even from the Indian grocery stores. It's still a great inspiration just browsing through your posts. I have never been to India, but hope some day to experience some of this cooking in real life! All the best, Anni.

Give it a try. Rajitha: Usually drying robs herbs quality, but somehow kasuri methi has all the good qualities of fresh methi. Like you, I adore this herb.:) Pritya(Pratibha?): I think you are going to like this recipe. For chana masala, I added a link in the writeup to chole, please check it out. Gravy for this curry is from tomatoes, blended chickpeas and masala powder. Thanks Linda. Dahi mirchi are store-bought. They are small variety chilli, and you guessed it right, very hot.:) That's why we needed fruit-yogurt on the side. Hello Anmol: Like Madhavi mentioned, I usually see them labelled as "Punjabi" tinda in Indian grocery shops. Thanks Madhavi. Siri, anusriram: Thanks. Sushma: Only once. I added a link to a recipe under homemade.Check it out. My recipe has pomegranate seeds and amchoor powder along with other spices.

I never really heard of home made chana masala powder. Do you have a recipe you can share? Thanks! Indira,

There is another vegetable with the name tinda, that's why the shop owners label this as "Punjabi" Tinda, I guess. Ammol: This vegetable is sold as “Punjbai Tinda” in Indian grocery shops.
