sylviex Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 there is a place inside wororot market,in the building to the right side coming from chiangmoi,all indian spices Yes. If you have the fortitude to make a search of this forum, there are more detailed instructions somewhere. If not, just get to Wororot and ask. If you don't speak sufficient Thai, there's enough English between the stall holders there to get you pointed to the right spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccheroncini Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I got my green cadamom there once, there's certainly a small place in the Wororot area but not inside the market itself. If you've notice the 7 Eleven store at the corner, just before you reach that intersection the shop should be on you left. It's really small and difficult to spot. Run by an Indian guy who speaks Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 u would certainly not get fresh curry and fenugreek leaves in chiang mai. asafoetida also not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylviex Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 u would certainly not get fresh curry and fenugreek leaves in chiang mai. asafoetida also not available. I fear Tigerbeer may be correct there. (They don't grow on trees, you know .) But the chap at the market would be the best bet, so far as I know. By the way, I have asked him if his family has considered a restaurant (it's the scent of those spices). He says there aren't enough people to run one; also that a restaurant beginning wth A (??Asama ?) in Anusarn market is not bad but you must tell them you like it spicy.

damole Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I was at the stall in Warawot a couple of days ago and the lady told me she does have hing (asafoetida) in gum form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wine-o Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Thx for the help all...I'll take a little trip down to Worowot market this week and see what goodies the shop has. As for the curry leaves and fenugreek, maybe I'll have to grow my own... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeVonderBearz Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 The guy at worowot market is massively overpriced - for example he wanted 1600thb for a kg of black cardamom. I went to the local market round the back of my house and found it there for 800thb per kg. As for the ingredients you need fenugreek is surprisingly available in the makro close to central festival as are mustard seeds. Curry leaves never seen them in CM, something that is pretty unique to South Asian foods. Hing is used by Jain's and Hare Krishnas, amongst other, as a garlic/onion alternative. I have never seen it in CM but untill you find some just use garlic/onion paste in your cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
