"At this Indian-American grocery store in Jackson Heights, you can buy a bag of rice that’s larger than most sixth graders. Not to mention microwavable masala popcorn, dozens of dal and chutney varieties, spices like amchur powder and asafetida, and thousands of other Indian and Southeast Asian ingredients. Since they carry a ton of different brands, spices here are a couple dollars cheaper than what you’ll find at Kalyustans. Patel Brothers also has locations in Flushing, Floral Park, and Jersey City." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
