I am addicted to making crispy dhosas. Does anyone know where I can buy Indian groceries in bulk? Rice, spices, dhosa mix. A dinner invitation could ensue.

The next time you visit an Indian restaurant

in your city, Tortoise, consider asking the

staff your question about buying in bulk.

If you post again, you may want to state

the name of the city where you are staying

or living.

Thanks so much! I live near Laureles in Medellin. I tried your suggestion at Naan, my absolutely favorite restaurant. The restaurant staff were really pleasant and helpful but when they explained where the store was and what the name was I couldn’t understand, just near a metro stop. I should have asked them to write it down but I was embarrassed at my limited ability to comprehend Spanish spoken at normal conversational speed. I will try again! There has to be a store where I can buy big sacks of basmati rice and packets of spices, maybe even a freezer case and my beloved dhosa mix.
