Buy Tamarind ( wet )

In fact it is a bit hard to find it.but you can find it at "ali muhiddin hacı bekir" stores. one is at eminönü one is at taksim as I searched. you may find it at MISIR ÇARŞISI at eminönü.Here is the only place that you can find it in Istanbul or you can ask for it from the Indian restaurants...

Thanks !
Will check "ali muhiddin hacı bekir" store and see.Hope to find !
