  3. Is there a difference btw a tuvar dhal and gujarathi tuvar? Didn't know that. Dhal looks great..we call it sambhar in the south.kokum is a new spice to me..why, when I clicked the link it shows me something like a dried mushroom..i have never laid eyes on it before..so I did learn something new. :)
