Food and family converge in Venba, a beautiful slice-of-life tale. Our review:
The story begins in 1988, with an immigrant couple, Venba and her husband, settling down in Canada fresh from India, and trying to adjust their day-to-day lives for this new, bitter environment. How is it going? The first scene shows us Venba feeling unwell, lying down on the sofa, looking tired and dishevelled. Her husband keeps asking whether Venba is okay, but she brushes his concerns off, making light of her ordeal.
'Indian food' can sometimes be a lazy term for the food that serves over a billion people in the subcontinent, with multiple countries and distinct regions having their own specific ingredients and cooking styles. This is something I didn't have to remind myself of throughout Venba when I came across both new and familiar dishes.The Tamil region and community is known for its food, and the most memorable dish for me in the game was the biryani.
Some of the recipes in Venba were new to me, or of food I've only seen through screens, as the Indian community close to where I live are from other parts of the country, and not the south. Dosas, thin crepe-like pancakes, are often served with small dishes and chutneys, are yet to take off in a major way in the UK as they have in other parts of the west.
