My Sindhi Dinner with Vimla Khemlani

What You'll Do

Sindhi cuisine is but one part of Vimla’s extensive vegetarian culinary repertoire, but food is one thing that has always connected her large family. Inheriting handwritten recipes from her late mother, she now shares her love for cooking with her own daughter - who will carry on the tradition. Prepare to be wowed by how flavourful vegetarian food can be as you fill your plate with rare delicacies like Moringa and Spinach Fritters, Sindhi Curry and Sindhi Mock Meat delicacy!

About What’s For My Dinner

In moments of remembrance, food becomes a heartfelt tribute to our departed loved ones. This year, join us as we witness the preparation of these special meals and learn about the connection between food and the departed from communities from different cultures, nationalities and background.

Multiculturalism is important in Singapore as it serves as the bedrock of the nation's societal fabric. It fosters mutual respect and harmony among diverse ethnic communities with different cultural practices, languages and religions. This shared understanding bridges social divides, cultivating an environment where every individual feels valued and included. It shapes Singapore's unique identity on the global stage, fortifying its reputation as a cosmopolitan hub.

Food serves as a conduit for understanding and appreciating our neighbours’ culture and traditions. From Singaporean food to ASEAN cuisine to far beyond, there are dishes sure to suit everyone’s tastebuds. Through interacting with members from different communities, What’s For My Dinner aims to inculcate a greater awareness of the diverse communities residing in Singapore. It spotlights Singapore, through many of its culinary adaptions, as a melting pot of cultures and encourages deeper appreciation of our multicultural identity. Be inspired by the flavours and friendships and let us makan (dine)!

About The Host

When Vimla was growing up as the only daughter in a family of 10, she wasn’t allowed into the kitchen much - her love for cooking really took off when she got married and moved to Singapore. Since turning vegetarian in the 1980s, she professes to being fairly experimental in her cooking, finding new ways to serve up tasty vegetarian versions of various cuisines from all over the world - from local Singaporean favourites to cuisine as exotic as Ethiopian! She runs cooking classes and a home-based supper club called Home For Treats to share the joy of vegan and vegetarian food.
