Book excerpt: Praise for Chachi's Kitchen: "This book took me back to my mother's arms, her food and love. It also reminded me of our unique history as East African khojas. Our food tells us we are different, unique. Thank you Chachi" - Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (Journalist, Author of 'The Settlers Cookbook') Author's note: "Chachi is Amina Pyarali Meghji, my mother. For as long as I can remember, she has been cooking the traditional dishes found in this cookbook, without the aid of written-down recipes. This book, which includes soups, stews, curries, snacks, rice dishes, and much more, aims to make this rich cuisine accessible to a wider audience, allowing you to cook like Chachi and discover Khoja cuisine from Kutch."
