I would imagine any Indian grocery store would do.  So it depends on where you live. 

There's one I like in Congressional Plaza in Rockville.  It's right behind a fun little Indian quasi-fast-food
place on Rockville Pike, and also behind  the stupendously underpriced Greek restaurant, Ambrosia.
Sorry I don't know the name of either the  Indian restaurant or the grocery store. The owner is the
same for both, however, so if you find one they'll direct you to the other.
