Title
Masala dabba: adding spice to my cooking story
Subject
Kanta tells us about her masala dabba, what spices she keeps in it, and the memory it brings up for her - of the sudden and difficult changes in family life, following Idi Amin’s infamous expulsions of Asian citizens from Uganda, and resilience shown by her parents in the face of hardship.
"The spice box still has a dent, a reminder of the hard times that my parents went through in the early stages of being here, and trying to settle themselves into a new environment and a completely different way of life."
