“Ek cup cha?” – hear this and you know that you are in a Punjabi house where anytime is Cha (tea) time. Join me in my home as I present to you the sea voyage my father and the many Sikh men before him took from their villages in Punjab (North-west India) to Singapore from the mid-19th century. Hear stories of how the Punjabi Sikh community, an ethnic minority in Singapore, continue to preserve and practice their religion and culture. And no home visit would be complete without a cup of cha and yummy snack of Pakoras (fried vegetable fritters) which we will prepare together. I’ll share my secret recipe for my special cha masala (tea spice) and savoury spice for the Pakoras.
