PREFACE

I am a sword. I am an alloy of India, of Austria, of Canada.

My culinary journey began in India, cooking with my aunts, and my mother, and my grandparents. I was forged in India. I was beaten and hardened by Austria. And sharpened and shaped by Canada.

When I opened my first restaurant, my father said to me: Just give them butter chicken and tikka masala. White people cant tell the difference between one curry and another.

His advice, boiled down, was, Serve it cheap. Label it ethnic. He saw no reason to shake up the model. Why change whats already working?

But I wasnt opening an Indian restaurant to make money. My mission was to bring awareness to the cooking and culture I had left behind. I wanted Indian cuisine to be given the same respect and love as French, as Italian. My goal, always, has been to elevate Indias cooking and culture.

And this? Well, this is the story of how I did it.
