    2. Talmakhana is not shortening. Shortening is "Dalda". Talmakhana is a type of herb thats used alot in ayurvedic medicine.

    3. Talmakhana is called as Phool Makhana in Hindi. When u visit an Indian store, ask them for Phool Makhana or better yet to show them the pic of it on your phone.

  10. I worked making deliveries for a Bangladeshi restaurant. i loved the Bangla recipes and I really liked the guys I worked with. I wish all the racists in the US and the rest of the world could understand what they are missing.
