Jyoti Mukharji has been teaching Indian cooking classes out of her Prairie Village home for more than 15 years. She and her son Auyon compiled nearly 100 of her best recipes in a new cookbook, “Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen.”

South Asian cuisine can vary drastically by region — from Bengali curry to Pakistani biryani and everything in between — but you can find options from all over the subcontinent right here in Kansas City. Here’s where to find the metro’s best butter chicken, tikka masala, samosas and more.

Across the Kansas City metro, you can find businesses selling spices and sweets, curries and tandoori dishes, reinvented classics and quick bites — spanning the cuisines of India, Nepal, Pakistan and more.

Newly opened in Parlor food hall in the Crossroads, Elephant Wings serves up dishes like tikka masala poutine and "Bombay-mi" sandwiches. But chef-owner Ameet Malhotra didn't always have culinary ambitions.

Since 2010, Mukharji has quietly welcomed nearly 5,000 students into her Prairie Village home for her popular Indian cooking classes, many of which sell out within 24 hours.
