Yuma, AZ (December 12, 2022) – When Sujata Halarnkar heard that NPR was searching for family recipes to be highlighted in their special cooking series, she jumped at the opportunity to submit a favorite dish.

While she knew her chances of being selected were slim, she had the perfect story to share about a treasured recipe her family has been cooking for the past four generations.

“I knew NPR was accepting submissions on a national level and thousands of people were going to participate, but I thought, it doesn’t hurt trying,” she recalled.
