What to expect

You will also find all the spices and condiments needed in Indian cooking at this store. Bridget will introduce you to all the local procure and ingredients used to prepare an Indian meal and teach you how select fresh produce. You might shop for lentils, spices or vegetables before returning home for your cooking and meal experience.
