Laura also let me in on the cheap finds to be had at an Indian imports store next to the restaurant, called Taj Mahal. I picked up a few mixes and spices, including a pack of spice mix for butter chicken, which I originally found out about from Megan the Vegan. I must try a vegan butter chicken! Also in my pile is a dry garlic chutney, some vindaloo curry paste, a dosa mix, and an adventurous little container of asafoetida. I don't know what to do with it yet, but the smell of it is very rich, and seems like it would be nice with a stew of some sort. Or maybe in a breading. Hmm.
Here's my $7.00 Taj Ma-Haul:

i know kevin wants to try it so i think we're game for another ethiopian run. yesterday i hit mexican, asian and the farmer's market. whew! if i don't get all lazy, i might post pics of my haul too.
great Indian finds!
Laura- cool, maybe we can all go then!
Lori- Thanks! And I heard that you were trying to make biscuits one-handed. Be careful around hot ovens while wounded. ;)
I've been wanting to try Ethiopian food. We'll have to check it out sometime. Yeah, it is the Soy Shop firm. They need an extra firm option. Or maybe they have one and I've never seen it.
oops, I commented before and I guess it didn't show up! anyway, it was just about awesome asafeotida is, and how it really takes curries to the next level. You'll totally have fun with it!
Oh I love ethiopian food as well. And what great finds at the Indian food store!
