"Indian Curry" is featured in the "Family Style Zine: An AAPI Food Anthology", an illustration publication by Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander Creators to share the lesser- known histories behind Asian foods.

Anyone who enjoys the flavorful taste of curry can assure that it is representative of South Asian food, more specifically Indian food. Curry has become so interwoven with Indian culture and lifestyle, that it’s hard to question that a dish as popular as curry would originate from anywhere else. Curry is a term that defined an entire nation, but does it really come from India?

A series of works depicting the idea of assimilation through everyday activities. These perspectives are derived from an Asian American living in today’s current society.
