## Resource

The mother and son duo—co-authors of  Heartland Masala —talk to Kate and Mark about what it was like to tour to more than 40 cities together (and, specifically, why it was so wonderful); "mock" authenticity and further thoughts on the authenticity conversation in general, especially as it relates to second-generation immigrants; and "fusion" versus "traditional." Plus: deep thoughts about butter chicken.  Get Jyoti and Auyon's recipes for Masala Brussels Sprouts:  https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/masala-brussels-sprouts/ ...and Narkol Cholar Daal (Split and Hulled Chickpeas with Coconut):  https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/narkol-cholar-daal-split-and-hulled-chickpeas-with-coconut/ Subscribe to Food with Mark Bittman on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen, and please help us grow by leaving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.
