Oh...I don't find 'bachali' in Indian Store here. In fact, in the place where I live, there are very few Indian Stores. The one I go to is about 12 miles away and I go on alternate Thursdays, because that is when the guy gets some fresh veggies. This store is more like a monopoly here and soooo many people come in on thursday and there is a looooooooooooong queue for billing. I haven't seen any Chinese Stores too but once while driving around I spotted an Asian Seafood Market. I hope I'll find something interesting in there ;)

Thanks Snigdha...Infact I was remembering you while preparing this...I read in some of your comments that your hubby love sea food...This one is one of my favorite fish fry. I searched for pomfret in about 15 Chinese stores and finally got it in one of them. Now I frequently go to that store. You also get winter melon and Chinese spinach (bachali in telugu, hope I am not wrong:)) there which are rare in Indian or American grocery stores...And Colarado is very far from Appleton :D
