While going through certain recipes, some of us get stumped when we come across an ingredient not known to us. We may not be knowing the English name or what it is said in other languages. Here’s an attempt to ease that confusion. I felt the best way to understand is by putting up the images so that people need not look for translations. Hope this helps.
I will be updating this page as often as possible. Click on the images to see a larger view.
