Indian groceries in Ingolstadt

Indian cooking draws on regional combinations of rice, lentils, spices, vegetables, pickles and breads. Buy whole or ground spices for the recipes you plan to make, then add basmati rice, pulses, coconut milk, ghee or a suitable plant oil as needed. Specialist shops are especially useful for different lentils, flour, spice blends and frozen breads, while supermarkets often cover a smaller everyday range.
