Ranji Smile, also called ‘America's First Celebrity Chef' and the ‘King of Curry Cooks', was an Indian immigrant from Karachi, who arrived in the US in 1899. He was known for his charm and incredible looks, but most of all, for changing the culinary landscape of America, and introducing the country to authentic Indian curries.
