❤️ Introduction

Kitchens have never been very good at staying inside borders.

We travel.

We move.

We taste something new.

We open the refrigerator and cook with what is there.

A familiar spice finds its way into an unfamiliar dish, or an ingredient

from another part of the world quietly enters a recipe we have known for years.

And somewhere along the way, something new becomes part of the way we cook.

That is the spirit of this collection.

These are not recipes trying to be traditional.

They are Indo-global dishes shaped by Indian flavors,

ingredients gathered along the way,

and the freedom to let different culinary worlds meet naturally.

Some began with curiosity.

Some with necessity.

Some simply because two things I loved seemed as though

they might belong together.

Not every recipe needs an old story behind it.

Sometimes the story begins with the person standing at the stove. 🌍

“A kitchen can remember where we came from without refusing to discover where we are.”
