Gordon Ramsay Cooks Indian Street Food For Locals | Gordon's Great Escape

one week ago I set off an adventure into the wilds of the northeast of India to track down the fabulous dishes that are unique to this region the Northeast is very special and it's sort of the opposite to I expecting I've discovered that the food is completely different to any of the Indian classics I've cooked before yeah there's no guarantee I'll uh you know there's no there's no there's no powders it's all fresh fragrant free little spice now I've flown back to Calcutta where my bad for my neck on the line northeastern curries have never been sold on these streets before I'm going to use everything I've learned to trade dishes that will show this city what has been missing it's the crack of dawn and our Pearlie to join your other street cooks already preparing for a busy lunch DJ now the streets starting to get busy everyone's starting to sort of get themselves organized and serene I smell already so that he is on without their 135,000 stalls my competition is going to be tough my northeast Curry's need to be good enough to turn customers away from their tried and tested favourites they wouldn't have seen or discovered food like this before so I just hope in the hell that they don't turn their nose up against it because they don't recognize oh that's not sort of what we're used to and I've hired some local lads to help me out how are you good to see and this is so you said it Zagat's are you sure they're not bunking off school no no no definitely not I didn't know him okay rush okay first thing yeah I need the fire lighting here I'm going to draw on the unique flavors of the Northeast to create three delicious curries my first is chicken and green papaya inspired by the winning recipe and the cooking competition it will have that classic a semi sour tang that the locals won't be used to bring papaya helps it not just soften the chicken but marinade it also gives that really nice tart flavor I'm going to make your fish curry using the dried bamboo shoot from Nagaland it's something of an acquired taste and I don't know how we'll go down here this combination of a sort of bay leaf stroke lemongrass with a little hint of licorice first time for you I'm so pleased my final dish is a northeastern take on vegetable curry instead of using dried spices I'm using fresh ones making it more subtle flavor fish with a puree of sesame seeds almost thickened vegetable curry with a sesame seed paste and then after that the fresh coriander paste just one last thing to do before I open my store I'm sweating like a pig I look like a pig I stink like a pig right and we get changed they've done a new similar in the white TV that is centered on you see valid a lot of our evitar garages how about you devalue almogavar labonte oh thanks cooler much better says not exactly chef White's is it but I suppose it's cooler to save my take on the Northeast can win over you must tell them that chicken mystery service' actually this is a new thing to us and down at them I don't know other people would like it or not but in my opinion it's really a super ones let's go let's go let's go the food is very good and I have to face with bamboo shoots it's very tasty chokes the green papaya thank you yes sir chicken papayas gone down a storm the last chicken it's unbelievable that's barely about 50 minutes over unfortunate chicken's gone which is fantastic you with the last the chicken burp are gone my fish and vegetable curries quickly sell out - sir thank you that is now officially Gordon Ramsay's Calcutta cafe closed it's been a great day I've enjoyed myself and judging by the reaction my curry has been a success 500 600 700 800 900 1000 yeah that my son is a good mornings work ok yes every people say the food is excellent today yeah definitely everybody said that but there's one person's opinion that really matters food writer nan Don's arrived to give me his verdict how are you I'm good how was your week and my week has been amazing so what did you cooked up today so today we did a take on a chicken and the green papaya we did an amazing fish curry I staked a little portion because I was getting slightly worried [Music] no wonder you sold out thank you you leave me you happy with us not only that you have actually succeeded in doing something many people would have said is impossible well done the French are so very well that is very well done I look ridiculous and must have lost half my body weight in sweat but I've proved that Curry's off the northeast of India are worth shouting about I thought my first week in India was a iOpener this one was a shock I think because it's hard to believe that exists it was almost like you weren't in India the culture is equally as exciting as the food just an amazing eye-opener the simplicity the concentration of great ingredients and not pissing around with it India's help me to you become you know not just you know a proper chef I've never I've never out that bracket but it has helped me to confirm what I love doing more than anything can we top that I doubt it but I can't [ __ ] wait to try

The best part of this series was Gordon getting schooled by Nawabi chef in Lucknow. God, that Biriyani looked ridiculously good
