What happens when an all-American kid is raised on Indian values, unlimited daal and rice, and parents who think “fitting in” is highly overrated? Confusion. Comedy. And a lifetime of awkward explanations.
Daal Rice follows an Indian-American boy born in the U.S. but raised in a household where the rules, food, and expectations come straight from the motherland. At school, he’s trying to blend in; at home, he’s navigating traditions, lectures, and relatives who seem to have very specific plans for his future. The result? A daily balancing act full of cultural mix-ups, identity crises, and hilariously relatable misadventures.
Sharp, witty, and full of heart, this is a story about growing up between two worlds—where “normal” is always up for debate, and figuring out who you are is anything but simple.
