We bought some in the main Migros yesterday. Kabartma tozu is baking powder and comes in packs of 3 - 5 sachets depending on which make you buy. It can be found in the same aisle as flour, cake mixes etc and lives on the bottom shelf at the right hand side along with yeast, vanilla sugar, etc etc. Happy hunting!
