I've run out of chickpea flour & asafoetida (both of which I've always got when over in the UK until now).
Does anyone know - definetively - where I can get some in Zurich?

(No joy at Barkat or the one on Langstr. next door to Casablanca)
I bought chickpea flour two weeks ago in a shop called New Asia Market on Feldstrasse right by Kalkbreite tram stop.

Re: Ethnic Grocery Stores

Hi! Does anyone know of any ethnic grocery stores just cross the border, perhaps in Waldshut-Tiengen? I would like to be able to buy 1eu tofu and not CHF5

Aggarwal's have moved. He told me once that the new place is around the cnr on Kernstrasse and someone else said that it's a really big place.

So their main grocery section isn't on Langstr anymore, but you could go there to ask for directions.

Unless someone here has their new address?
Yes you are right. I went by there this afternoon. The old place on Langstrasse 62 has become a takeaway and the new place is 2 minutes walk on Kernstrasse 27. It's a bigger, cleaner and well served store.

I only went looking for stewing lamb and came out with 2 grocery bags packed full. Fresh vegetables, meats, fish, spices, starches, pickles, ready made foods, etc... they've got a lot of stuff.

Here's a good tip: there's a brand of ready made curries called `Haldiram's Minute Khana.` on sale at Aggarwals. There are about 5 or 6 different varieties of these ready made veg curries which taste as good if not better than the real thing. Here's a link to a pic of the products:

When I can't be bothered with cooking, I open up a packet of these, reheat for 2 minutes and have a delicious dinner. Enjoy currying!

Re: Ethnic Grocery Stores

hello there,

I think it will be a very good idea. I have also been thinking about having an indian store with some jewellery and handicrafts from India. A store where the moment one enters , it will remind them of India. Do let me know if you need a hand in setting up things. I have been asking since a while if someone would be interested in setting up something.

take care
