I would be glad, if you stop by mine too.
Alum powder is a common spice, and it is used as the acidic component and can be used in food processing and for pickling and also in baking powder.
Its like a crystalline form, and one uses little powder to solidify milk in lumps for kalakand.
you can get in the spice /Baking department section at your local grocery store.
