That pic is absolutely gorgeous. Neem flowers? Are they bitter?

I should have asked this in the previous comment, where do you get these neem flowrs from>

Guess very few states in US get these from India.

Looks yummy! We don’t get neem flowers around here, so making this dish is out of question.
Hey,
Neem flowers? Awesome. I will have my mom pick all those neem flowers and dry them up so I can get them I am here. Will drying and storing affect their taste?
Good recipe, Anu!!!
