If not, anyone know where I could procure some in or around Chicago?

If you don't feel up to it I've found it in China Town before, but it's far cheaper up on Devon street. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain Whole Foods would carry small bottles.

I don't know for sure whether they have it there, but the biggest and most complete grocery store for Indian specialties is Patel Brothers at 2610 W. Devon Ave. Tue Apr 07 15:54:14 -0700 2009 4564164 55363 nsxtasy 1 4600962 Middle Eastern groceries will have it also. And, I just saw it at Southport Grocery, too.

You may wish to call ahead to make sure they still carry the product. Sat Apr 18 07:39:35 -0700 2009 4564164 68627 deesher
