Wow, crazy to know we are so close. We’ll have to exchange contact info. I lurk in Discord on occasion.
Nice imagination by the way. Garam masala wasn’t easy to find, but the local Suriname masala powder is everywhere. I hate to say the flavor is too different to use it as a substitute.

I think I saw some at Weng’s on Franchepanestraat the other day.
