Thank you so much for posting about the farmer’s market! I grew up in Houston and used to go to this market every Saturday morning. Now when I go back to visit I always make it a point to stop in and get something fresh. Although it’s not in the best part of town, it is one of the best markets in all of Houston. By the way I found your website while searching for Palak Paneer recipes. I prepared yours tonight and it was FANTASTIC! Thanks a bunch.

I have been living in Houston for the past 4 years. I have been looking for a good produce market ever since I saw one in California.
Thanks so much for the information.

Hey India,
I love reading your blog, as I can relate to many familiar things you write about Houston. I actually live about 10 minutes away from Canino farmers market, and we do our weekly produce shopping from there. we get our Indian vegetables from lady named Maria, and her phone # 832 768 0193. she always keeps desi veggies such as ratalu, turiya, tindora and karela.

Thank you all for your lively mandi sandadi like notes. I really wish that you were here so that I can share the sweet mangoes with you all.

Dear Moi: Would love to read about the Mumbai market. Any new vegetable/fruit findings at the market?

Priya: Look for the mangoes. They are really the best. Have a wonderful summer vacation with your brother.

Cilantro: We wanted to go that market in Seattle, but missed out. Heard it’s a nice place to shop for fresh produce.

Shobana: They have tortilla presses in different sizes, from palm sized to a big roti size, from $5 to $120. Lots of variety.

Shikha: Will check the HongKong Market for boodida gummadi. Thanks!

BDSN: So good to see you after such long time. How is the little one doing?
Thanks for adding the links. Please, there is no need for permission. Links are there for us to add and share.

Diane: I was wondering about the name of this variety. Thanks for the info. Yes, the season is almost over, another one or two weeks here, I think.

aaah this totally reminded me of the mandi(s) back in India….all that rushing pushing and the sweat! Sometimes I totally crave that in the middle of all this neat and orderly shopping – Nothing like home as they say!
