Many a times I used to wonder what a particular ingredient is called in other Indian Language. As of now I collected few details from my friends and have updated this table. I would greatly appreciate if you can add to this post by sharing how an ingredient is called in your language. Isn't this a fun way of learning and sharing?
Anyways, below is the table containg the ingredients in Hindi, Tamil and Kannada. In future I will try to add Malayalam and Telugu. I am really thankful to Kirthi chandar for sending me few of the transalation from english to Kannada.
