How Indian food remade itself abroad — the dishes migration invented, from the British curry house to the Trinidadian roti shop.

About this series
Diaspora food is not Indian food transplanted; it is something new, invented in exile and shaped as much by the new country as the old. This series follows the great diaspora dishes and the cooks who created them.
Each part is a food-culture essay reported from real history — not a debate about what's “authentic”, but a celebration of what migration actually cooked up when an old kitchen met a new country.
