I am also in the middles class, not rich, and not poor, Me and my fiance both work and we find, that buying food is expensive. We try to buy fresh veggies and such, but I find that frozen and canned veggies are more cost effective for this family. Most of weekly food consists of pastas dishes, rice dishes, and soup. I am a pescatarian, and he is a meat eater, but he rarely buys meat, and I make vegetarian dishes. But we found that planting our own garden saves alot on fresh veggies. We had cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, zucchini,rhubarb and strawberries. I froze the zucchini, and I cooked a lot of dishes during the summer with what came from our garden.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi Kevin, Indian spices are so many it would be very difficult to list all the ones you might be interested in. You could shop for dried ginger, coriander powder, chilli powder (you get different varieties here... chilli powders which give colour but are not that hot, decent colour and moderately hot, kinda-ok colour but bounce-off-your-chair hot!!! The works!!). I would also suggest you look into the awesome " namkeens " (quick snacks) there. You'll get these in any sweet and namkeen shop in Mumbai. Try the " Baakarwadi " for sure! Here's a tip - you can ask for a sample to eat before you buy anything! That way you'll know whether you like the stuff you are buying! Take care and have loads of fun. Mumbai is a great place to set off on a culinary journey. Cheers/Sukanya. Message: 6 Mon, 08 Nov 2004 20:27:43 -0000 " feline_rancher " <feline_rancher Tips for Mumbai [bombay]...? I am travelling to Mumbai, India next week, on business. But I will set aside at least a day to do some culinary exploring. Now, I know that there are a number of Indians in our group, and I love Indian [northern] food and spices. So, here's my question.... Are there any really great Indian spices/herbs that I should look for and buy while in Mumbai, which are not easily found in the USA [Georgia]? Thanks, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
