Leela Manilal

As India shrugged off centuries of invasions and 300 years of British colonialism, the nation emerged from a feudal state into a vibrant democracy. Throughout its tumultuous history, India’s rich native culinary tradition has endured.

Today, that tradition has expanded to reflect the consciousness of India’s well-traveled middle class. Specialties from throughout India and the Middle East coexist in flavorful harmony with popular Western introductions like pasta and pizza.
