How to find Indian/Asian products inside German supermarket? | Tour inside a German supermarket

So, when you have just arrived in Germany and are mesmerized with everything around you; starting from the traffic, rules, dorms, universitiy, etc., Something that is much more important is food and groceries that you need for day-to-day life activities. The problem with the German supermarkets is that, most of the products or items in the supermarket will be in German language and most of the new comers find it difficult to locate many items inside the supermarket. The situation gets worse, if you are not well-versed in German because most of the supermarket staff will only know German language and it would be difficult for you to explain what you are searching for.

In this article, I have tried to show all the Indian/Asian products that you can buy from the German supermarkets. Before I show you the products, I would mention some of the biggest and most renowned supermarkets in Germany which can be found in all the places. For example, REWE, Edeka, Lidl, Penny, Norma, Konsum, Aldi, etc., It is not needed to remember all these names, but just get to know them so that you can find out the supermarkets in your neighbourhood. 

DISCLAIMER: I am not endorsing any of the products or brands here, rather just showcasing the availability. 

To begin with, let me show you the Rava/Semolina that is available in Germany. It is more of a finely ground semolina and not the coarse one, which you get in India.
