My mum moved here in 1973.
She'd been in Kenya and my grandparents and my mum and aunt and uncle came here in the early 70s and...
My granddad was an accountant who then left his job in the early 80s and opened Indian restaurants.
So my family business is Indian restaurants.
The best cook in my family, sadly, this year passed away.
So my grandmother died.
Listen, she... How old was she?
It is very sad because she and I were very close, but she had an incredible life.
She used to make a Malabar fish curry, like a Kerala fish curry that was absolutely bananas.
But to be honest, she was so gifted that kind of anything she made... Was delicious.
She used to make an omelette with cashew nuts and red onion.
It was so delicious.
She just had a kind of, I think she had a very... She was talented.
Yeah, very natural aptitude for cooking and languages.
She picked up languages really quickly.
She spoke, thank you very much.
She spoke, Malayalam was her, that was her first language.
