Cancel 'curry'? Why South Asian American chefs say it's time for the word to go. - NBCAsianAmerica
The Hindi expression “ghar ka khana” translates, quite simply, to “home food,” and it carries with it a certain sentimentality. It’s the crackling and pop of jeera hitting the pan. It’s the jarring whistle of the pressure cooker as dal softens on the stove. And the slightly sweet smell of just-done basmati rice has a universal meaning: It’s time to sit down for a meal.
South Asian American cooks say they’ve spent their lives untangling shame and misconceptions when it comes to their foods, and now, they just want to celebrate it. “And that lack of temperance, in our food, or in our emotionality, is a problem,” she said. “That's one of the things that is rooted in white, Christian supremacy.”
