Dried fruits, betel nut (pan, pronounced "pa-an"), ginger, herbs and such...Some good, some yuck, all exotic and interesting to say the least. I wish I had photos of the food, such wonderful food. Indian cuisine is both intriguing and mysterious, yet warm and comforting; A so-spicy-it's-painful, your-mouth-will-thank-you experience. Mmmm, coconut chutney, baked yogurt, lentils, chickpeas, masala dosa, and naan, and chapatti, and the paneer, mmm, the paneer...
