Indian/Pakastani/Bangladeshi Spices
Can anyone point me in the direction of the nearest shop that sells the large packets of spices? Star Anise, Cinnamon, Fennel seeds, Turmeric, dried chillis etc? I’m a recent blow-in and having done all my previous spice shops at the glorious Khans in deepest darkest Peckham now find myself on the cusp of running out of a few key ingredients and resent paying £4 for 3 Star Anise at my local Tesco.

Try Shaheen Supermarket on Stoke Newington High Street or the K Store on Clapton Road.

@ClaptonPieman The Turkish Food Centre does far more than their name suggests. They certainly do large packets of spices. Their store at 89 Ridley Rd is a bit of a Dalston institution and well worth a visit.
