Indian Jews
I was taking about how I found an article talking about Indian Jewish food, and them promptly forgot where I had found it. Bumming around the net today looking for inspiration for lunch, I found it again. :-)
India is an Asian Earth Mother of great cultural and culinary diversity. Harbored among its millions for many centuries were three unusual Jewish communities, located in different regions of the country. I refer to the Baghdadi Jews of Calcutta, the Bene Israel of Bombay on the Konkan peninsula, and the so‑called Black Jews of Cochin in southwest India. These three groups developed their cuisines within the framework of Judaic laws in an essentially Sephardic system, independently of each other.
