Outside, milk crates support cardboard boxes full of exotic fruits and veggies. Inside, shelves display bags of every conceivable dried bean, flour, rice and spice. Nostalgia, history, kitsch and Ayurveda are also on offer: Thums Up cola bottled in India, turmeric vanishing cream, and miswak (twig of the Salvadore Persica tree) toothpaste. Convenience food here means family-sized jars of puréed garlic and ginger, roti breads, vegetarian-friendly paneer (rennet-free cheese), and cans of sweetened mango pulp.
