So it wasn't just a rumour after all. I've heard people talk about the lentil shortage and ban on exports by India but I didn't really think it was real. So today, I went searching online and apparently a lot of Indians and Indian Restaurants are being hit hard by the ban!
Scramble for Lentils: "Local retailers still have Indian toor dal on their shelves, but that's unlikely to last. Ajit Kaushal, owner of Bombay Trading Company in Concord, says he's pleading with customers not to start hoarding. 'It will only make the prices go higher,' says Kaushal, who sold up to seven hundred pounds of toor dal a week before the supply started drying up. Since early July, he has had to double the price, which is currently at $2 per pound. "
