The Outsider Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Regular grocery: Trader Joes. Indian stuff: Any store - they are pretty much the same. In summers, also try to go to the local farmer's market, but don't always get the time.
Ram Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Weird – only I seem to be buying groceries in pre-cooked form (Subway/Chipotle/Random Indian restauarant etc). :dontknow:
Clarke Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Used to be whole foods for a good number of years. Back to Swades, its a combination of D-Mart & Sabzi Mandi.
Cricketics Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Indian Namkeens and other India stuff from -India Bazaar here in Gaithersburg Regular grocery and other stuff from Costco. Now days Global foods have started having Indian section where they keep plenty of Indian stuff. So sometimes pick up INdian stuff from Global foods too.
maniac Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Indian groceries-Patel Brothers/Ceramark Groceries-Marianos,Dominicks or Costco
sscomp32 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Sabzi mandi for vegetables and groceries from neighbourhood wholesaler.

In summers, also try to go to the local farmer's market, but don't always get the time. I was disappointed by Trader Joes the only time I bought something from there.......was a chicken wrap......didn't taste all that great..........though I've heard a lot of their other stuff is quite good and flavorful.....

jalebi_bhai Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 What's Mandi? Every state seems to have it. Market.....Sabzi mandi = Vegetable Market.......
SLICKR392 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Market.....Sabzi mandi = Vegetable Market....... Oh ! I figured it had something to do with Baba Ramdev as someone mentioned above. :p I thought Sabzi Bazaar was the only term.

Nah......people use mandi quite often too......they can be used in a synonymous manner though as they pretty much mean the same thing.....

Cricketics Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Weird – only I seem to be buying groceries in pre-cooked form (Subway/Chipotle/Random Indian restauarant etc). :dontknow: I get those frozen Paranthas and some haldirams subzi which you would just have to oven/microwave or put on guess and are ready to it items all the time. Haldiram's Dal Makhni is pretty good. Also Those paranthas are great. I have a mini electronic griddle grill which i use for those frozen paranthas. And they come out really good. Also like Paneer Pakoras and Aloo Tikkis of Haldirams. They are cool and easy to get ready. Just put it on the grill and great to serve too.
Ram Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Doesn't that cost you a fair bit of money?? Yes it does. :(( I get those frozen Paranthas and some haldirams subzi which you would just have to oven/microwave or put on guess and are ready to it items all the time.

Unfortunately, when I do go indian grocery shopping, I have a rule that forces to shop strictly for fresh vegggies. All snacks/frozen stuff/parathas/rice etc banned from my list.
