Hi gals,
I m moving to berkeley, California mid march.
I wanted to know if Indian fishes are available in US. Also do we get grated coconut or do I need to bring something to grate the coconut. Are coconuts readily available in US. Coz will need it often for chutney n fish curry.
Will the custom officer allow me to carry dry fruits ladoo, indian aluminium kadai and tava.
Also , airlines allows maximum baggge.

Thanks in advance.

Hi fair, hope by now you might have got the mixer. Most popular brands should be available in indian stores, else buying online from the brand's site is the option.
Please share how you got your mixer,

Thanks for stepping in dear mughda. Yes, coming equipped with the basic skin care products would be helpful till we explore the wide array of products in U.S.

Hi Karthhema,
IMO, for heavy duty blending/ grinding indian cooking, indian mixers are better.
