Heritage Food of the Peranakan Indians: In a Chitty Melaka Kitchen
A treasured collection of nearly 100 Peranakan Indian recipes, inspired by the skills and stories of different members of the community. Using the collective voice of Nenek (an affectionate term for grandmother) to capture the warmth of a typical Chitty Melaka kitchen, we invite everyone to savour the flavours of a small and distinctive community. The Peranakan Indians are the descendants of the intermarriages between early South Indian settlers and the Malay, Chinese and other local communities. Beginning in the 15th century in the port city of Melaka, our hybrid culture has evolved, with our cuisine and spoken language bearing close resemblance to the well-known Baba-Nonya community. What makes us unique would be our roots in the Chitty Village in Melaka; indeed, tracing this long lineage is a source of pride, even as many have settled far and wide across the globe. The Peranakan Indian (Chitty Melaka) Association Singapore would like to share with you our pride and our labour with love.
