This is #1 question that comes to one's mind when you seriously start thinking about packing. Indian culture has been a part of the UK for centuries. No wonder 'Chicken Tikka' is a national dish here! You get almost everything you need in your Indian kitchen here for a reasonable premium. But still, there are some things that should be bought from India either because they are not available here or because they are expensive. Here is a list:
Chapati Maker (belan) - You can find one in a good Indian store. But the quality is better in India
Nail cutter - I've never seen one here!
Tava for making rotis - Expensive in the UK
Pressure Cooker - Expensive in the UK. I make rice, dal etc in the microwave. So I dont have a pressure cooker here.
There is one thing that you 'must' get from India. 1 spoon full of home made curd. If you are a south Indian, curd (yogurt) is an integral part of your meal. You get nice yogurt here. Its creamy types. Also, good quality yogurt is about £2.5 per kg. You can save a lot of money if you do yourself this little favor of getting a sample from home. I'll touch upon this topic of how to make yogurt in UK in a separate article.
