    Nisha,

    Everything is available (Indian Grocery) is available in newyork/new jersey. Distance of indian grocery shop depends on city/location. Regarding utensil, i am not aware with items mentioned by you other than pressure cooker but if she wants (have capacity) can carry the utensil. Since she is coming first time i'll suggest you to get some basic eatables (Rice, daal, some snacks, maggie etc) so she doesn't need to search grocery shop from very 1st day. Also, it would be great if she can carry baby food (specially if kids eat indian cerelac, taste is different than cerelac available here and in India).

    Regarding winter - you might have heard about Polar Vortox in USA this year. NY, NJ are very cold so your friend needs good and very warm winter wear (specially for kids). Please ask theym not to take this season light .
