'When my parents first moved to Indianapolis, they—like the many people who also immigrated here from India—didn't have much of a community. As time passed, we built our own little Indian community, one that is as close-knit as ever today.'
Unsurprisingly, the society surrounding them was equally barren: By the time they found people who looked, spoke, dressed, and ate just like them, they had almost lost hope. As they say, when it rains, it pours.
Aunty’s grandmother’s cabbage bake is just that. An import from the Maharashtrian regions, it strays far from the more common South Indian use of cabbage: usually a simple side dish mixed with grated coconut, mustard seeds , and a spattering of spices. During this ten-day-period of celebration that’s called Dussehra in the northern regions of India, guests flock to the house. Women and children sing, admiring a staircase of dolls and idols that adorn the living room. Decked in their best attire, the women of the community display spreads of their finest offerings. In Carmel, Indiana, each woman has her signatures.
