Buy her a lehenga or dress, I feel like that would be super thoughtful and she'll have something to wear to India!

I once got a chikankari (ethnic embroidery) kurti with matching leggings and dupatta for a non desi friend and she absolutely loved it. If you buy a chikankari top, she can easily wear it on jeans as well.

I took my wife(then gf) to meet with desi friends, watched some Bollywood movie together, told her stories about Indian culture to begin with. She’s a avid reader and I gave different books about India, she loved them. Your gift should vary based on her personality and likings. Things were even difficult for me as she belongs to a county with very less Indian population. There’s no shortcut to it, time will make things easy.
