Secrets, lies, and unresolved conflicts play out against a background of familial memories of food and cooking in Masala Dabba, a deeply felt family drama where food is love, loss, and a portal into the past. Long-buried truths surface through stories inspired by each of the spices in a grandmother’s masala dabba, an Indian spice box.
Though Masala Dabba focuses on an Indian/African American family, all families can see themselves in the stories about the past, culture, identity, and the choices we make.
