I wish I could taste your recipe. I haven't even heard of some of the ingredients. For example: Colocasia and Asafoetida. In the UK, we're lacking in knowledge of some of your food.

I also would like to taste this one. It sounds great. Are these ingredients found in traditional stores, not the turmeric, but this Colocasia and Asafoetida.
