Fun-to-make fried treats from the Indian diaspora of the US: kale pakoras, and KFC (AKA Keralan fried chicken)
Amrikan (UM-ree-kan) is a noun or adjective that Indians use to describe all things American. It’s America with a desi accent. The story of Indian food in America is in many ways the story of my family. I am the proud child of immigrants and very much a product of this diaspora. But my family’s story is just one piece of the puzzle. Indian-American food is some of the most exciting and accessible Indian cooking out there. It’s a cuisine shaped by waves of immigration, resourceful home cooks and generations determined to preserve their heritage while creating new traditions that honour their adopted homeland along the way.
