Popped into a few shops over the weekend on a hunt for patthar ke phool, no joy. 

Picked up a few other items though. 

Green Chana  ;D After the talk about these, i was very happy to see them in the shops. Obviously not as sweet as I ate in India which were freshly picked, but not bad though.


TRS Whole Red Extra Hot Chillies 400g (reduced to 99p because they were out of date) 
Closer in size(no bigger than 1 inch) to proper birds eye chillies.

And i thought i would try some more Naga products.  (again, very cheap and out of date)

I think it's a small miracle that we can get products like this at all. Whereabouts did you procure them from?

Up in Glasgow SS.  Was told in the first shop that somebody had just been in and bought 6 bags!  ;D
I didnt buy mine in that shop though as i was umming and arring because i knew they wouldn't be as fresh, but succumbed  by the 8th or 9th shop.

D'oh! They might as well be in India then for all the chance I'll have of ever getting up there. In fact I'd probably understand the locals better as well!.  ;D

green chana? they look like peas to me -- how different are they, taste wise?
