HT 7a: Notes on Ingredients
Notes on Ingredients
Almost all of the ingredients in this cookbook will be familiar to you and readily available at most food stores. A very few items, however, may have to be purchased at specialty shops.
• hing -also known as asafetida, this spice is used in several of the recipes and can serve as a substitute for garlic and onions, which are not offerable to Lord Krsna. Hing may be purchased at most Indian, Chinese, or Middle Eastern specialty shops.
• garam masala -a mixture of spices, typically including ground coriander, ground cumin, and ginger, available from Indian specialty shops.
• garbanzo bean flour -available at Indian specialty shops, where it is called "besan flour." Garbanzo bean (or chickpea) flour may also be found at Middle Eastern specialty shops.
• tofu -this protein-rich, cheeselike substance prepared from soybeans is available from most health food stores and Oriental specialty shops.
• Chinese sesame oil -this roasted sesame seed oil, with its unique nutty flavor, is available from most Oriental specialty shops.
• filo -thin sheets of pastry available from Middle Eastern or Greek specialty shops.
