Punjabi and North Indian

Known as the land of five rivers, Punjab is home to rich soil and generations of farmers who grow wheat, rice, millet, barley, and produce fresh dairy. Children grow up spending lazy summer days in the fields, eating raw sugarcane, watching their elders cook large meals and share stories in the light of the open fires. In Punjab, food is a gift. It is livelihoods, and bears life. It is activism and a reflection of our culture. Didi Supper is a celebration of Punjab and Kirtbir’s childhood. It is an exercise in preserving the recipes and stories of her community because Punjabi food isn’t just ‘tikka masala’ - it is complex, bold, and permeates our memories. Kirtbir, with her love for bringing strangers together through food, and the warmth of an older sister ‘didi’, will send you home with a full stomach, a deeper understanding of the spices, flavours, politics of her homeland, and a little piece of Punjab.
