What is Deep Fry?

A food newsletter taking deep-dive into the South Asian food culture.

For now it’s an experiment. But, the dream is to turn Deep Fry into a space where lesser known stories of South Asian food find a home. Since I am an anthropologist (by degree, at least), the focus is more on the people, societies and cultures…all through the lens of food.

Additionally, I will also add a few reading and film recommendations - obviously all based around food.

For now this is all I have to say about Deep Fry. More, as and when this space evolves.

Best,

Shirin
