Gordon's Great Escape

Gordon heads south to the coasts of Kerala for the ultimate seafood curry. In Tamil Nadu he hits a meat-free zone and faces his biggest culinary nightmare, living in an ashram where the only food on the menu is vegetarian.

Gordon's got a taste for adventure and heads off the tourist track into impenetrable north-east India, home of the country's best-kept culinary secrets. Leaving the 21st century behind, he immerses himself in the life of a local meat-loving tribe in Nagaland.

Gordon's odyssey begins in the north, home of our curry house classics.
