[hughden]

Anyone know of a food shop in Pattaya/Jomtien that carries a decent range of ingredients for cooking Indian food?

Thanks

Was still there in June this year.

Otherwise check with some of the chefs in the Indian restaurants,

Or better yet, when you get stopped by those annoying tailor touts on Beach Road, hold a long conversation with them, discussing the relative merits of various spices and how well they blend together to make a particular curry flavour.

And hold onto their hand tightly so they cant get away.

Anyway, the shop is still there ... only place to buy real Basmati rice.

Naka.

Go on the internet for recipes for garam masala, buy the ingredients, and grind them yourself. Keep in jar with tight fitting lid. What is ghee? Clarified butter?

mixing garam masala that no individual spice dominates is an art. the shop mentioned still exists but except for Basmati i wouldn't buy anything there. we are getting our spices from Singapore and India.

[hughden]

Thanks, I will head for soi 17 (not via the tailors).

That's not as easy as it sounds. Black cardamoms are extremely hard to come by in Thailand and even Malaysia. I had to have mine hand carried in from UK.

Anyway, my recipe for garam masala is here:

Do they sell gram/besin/chickpea flour there? If so, I'll have to ask a kind traveller to bring some for me.

If you walk down Soi Day and Night from South Pattaya road, past Pattaya People office, a little further down on the left is a small Indian shop.

They stock the lot including good quality rice, you should get all you need between there and Soi 17.

The shop on Soi 17 is still there - I can never remember the name (Diva??)....their stock is very up and down - ask about live yoghurt. They had ghee (or was it vegetarian ghee) there and a small range of pickles and dried spices pulses etc, popad etc. They used to be associated with the Kohinoor restaurant round the corner.

I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll get stuff for you.

......the idea of asking a tailor how to make a good Indian dish is interesting!

Does anyone know when Villa Market will open in Pattaya Second Road, they have a good selection of spices in their BKK branches, also they have Pattaks Curry Pastes and Chutney
