Do u feel that this recipe wont work out just coz the ingredients mentioned are not available in India???
Well well well.... lemme tell you that Indian land is the mother of all spices. You might be familiar with so many spices that the Western Chefs might not be even aware of! India is the land of spices. India is the land of flavors. India is the land of Aroma. Never forget that Brits came all the way here just in need of flavoring their meat and here they found everything they needed to make their meals tastier! So even if there are fancy names mentioned in the recipe books.. don't get baffled! Here is a list that will make your job simpler and you'll have a 'facepalm'!
