Poster's Notes:
Curry leaf is available at Asian markets (usually frozen) or Indian markets, also at some farmer's markets here in California.
Most Latin markets sell tamarind as do Asian and Indian markets.
Asafoetida is an Indian spice. It can be optional and it's found in spice stores and Indian markets.
Parathas, dosas and idlis, are Indian breads, the dish can also be served with flour tortillas or pita.
