Did you try at Rizks Emporium and Hypermarket. There is sufficient stock available over there :-)
Yesterday I went to the Indian supermarket and FFC at airport road but couldnt find that charoli. ;(
Use Pine nuts as substitute to Charoli.
Same for u speedysid. Eid Mubarak Kareem
Have a blessed Eid...
Speedysid. tkx lot i will surely try it this eid inshallah.
Cardamom, being a spice, is put to have a certain flavour to your dish. In case you want to do without it, you can.. There's no 'one-single-way' to prepare any particular dish... Experiment, experiment...and experiment! :)
