A beauty preparation that just had to be included, as my mother made it when I got married. Amba haldi, also known as mango-ginger or wild turmeric, is closely related to regular turmeric and can be found in some Indian shops. It is used in skincare for its healing properties, but if you can’t find it, just omit it - don’t use regular turmeric as it will stain your skin. Look for sandalwood powder in Asian shops or online.
