A delightful cocktail of satire, wit & humour. A heady concoction
- Khushwant Singh

American Khichdi by Sunil Lala is a lively commentary on Indian and American cultures. The author boldly addresses and carefully dissects a wide range of issues confronting contemporary Indians. This well-written book is truly a khichdi – wonderful hodgepodge of feelings, a dizzying jumble of beliefs, and a fascinating assortment of contrasting ideas. Vividly capturing the dichotomy and idiosyncrasies of life as a quintessential desi, Sunil Lala speaks with a resounding and intelligent voice. With humor and heart and an edgy wit, he takes no prisoners as he zeroes in on the foibles and quirks of Americans, Indians, and NRIs in this stunning debut.
