Re: Spicy Sev (Help meeee)
No, not phitkiree, that's a whitish crystal thingie called alum. If you're from Karachi, you might have seen your mom boiling a ton of drinking water and then running phitkiree through it to make sure all the icky sediment settles out.
Heeng you can get at Indian stores, either solid or powdered, it's supposed to be a "digestive", whatever that means.
