Culture

Festival and pooja items

For many families, groceries also connect to festivals, pooja, rituals and family traditions. LocalDesi is designed to bring cultural essentials closer to everyday life.

Indian grocery terms explained

Aussies often see the ingredients but do not know where to start. Desis know the exact brand or item they are looking for. A good grocery page needs to serve both.

  • Atta is wheat flour commonly used for roti and chapati.
  • Dal refers to lentils or pulses and also to the cooked dish made from them.
  • Masala means a spice blend, but each blend has a different use, such as garam masala, chaat masala or biryani masala.
  • Paneer is a fresh cheese used in dishes like palak paneer, paneer tikka and curries.
