Amrikan: 125 Recipes from the Indian American Diaspora

Khushbu Shah (Norton)

In this delightful debut, Shah delineates a specifically Indian American cuisine, a fusion fare that, she writes, arose out of a scarcity of authentic ingredients and through cultural exchanges with other immigrant groups. She strikes a playfully irreverent tone as she guides home cooks through unexpected twists on classic dishes. These recipes are as fascinating as they are mouthwatering.
