International Sushi Day is on June 18. And if you have had achari sushi, paneer tikka sushi or Jain sushi, then you know sushi has already found its Indian avatar.

Tarla Dalal’s cooking website — now maintained by her son — addresses this demand with a recipe for dhokla sushi. After heavily Indianising dim sum as malai momo and jalebi momo chat, it is time for sushi to go desi, and the demand for desi sushi has been increasing at banquets.
