I guess Bhangko chop is out question, but Timmur would be nice.

Do you what they call Timmur, I doubt if the call the same thing. Timmur is even scarce in Nepal, so I wonder if we are talking about the same spice.
Phapar Roti is really good. What's the name for Phapar then? Sunkhari, you seem to know so much, please let us know the English/Chinese/Korean names so we don't end up buying something else.
Thanks.

hmm Diabolic..I do???
well I couldn't tell you the names in Chinese nor Korean (LOL) but I look for peppercorns ---TIMUR. I have only mastered a few languages ;o) and the two you mentioned are not part of it.
Phapar is ( I think) buckwheat.

I just discovered a small cache of 'timmur' and figure my mom must've brought it over on her last visit. My only problem is - what do I do with it? It'd be great if anyone could share some timmur recipes. Thanks.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to make your mother water!!
Thanks for the 'golbheda ko acchar' tip, but are there any other recipes for timmur other than golbheda ko acchar?

First of all, I think I needed the conclusion of that biryani :). Sorry I am a big dummy when it comes to figuring out recipes..Need I say more..
About the timur: I put a little bit of timur in my aludum, just a tiny winy bit to give it that extra zing!

how silly of me! I hadn't realized I hadn't completed the recipe!! I’ve now posted the last part under the same thread. Sorry about that, I must be losing my mind.
Sunkahari - any idea if one can buy Simal-tarul out here?

if you go to chinese store and ask for hua jiao(Jiao is pronounced as Chiao), you should be able to find it. To explain it further, if you have ever had chinese dish called " ma fou tou fu"(aka spicey sichuan style bean curd), they put some timur there most of the times (At least that's how I like it).
Hope it helps. I tired to find how to say timur in English, no one I know was able to tell me. If anybody has a name for it, please pass it on.

Well, after living in china for three quarters of a decade, you cannot help but learn those stuff I guess, specially if you are interested in chinese food.
