Indian Food Made Easy: Episode Two

Anjum Anand continues her journey around the country revealing how different flavours of the Indian subcontinent can be found throughout the UK – ranging from mouth-watering Bengali cuisine in London to the full flavours of the Punjab found in Glasgow.

The second episode features Michael “Scottie” Scott, the captain of Stoneygate, one of Leicester’s oldest rugby clubs. Every month, the team has a takeaway curry. Anjum convinces Scottie to join her in the kitchen so she can show him how simple it is to cook an Indian meal for the players, as an alternative to their traditional takeaway.

To discover more about the Gujarati food he is going to cook, Anjum takes Scottie on a gastronomic tour of Leicester. Scottie learns how to select spices and is introduced to a few of Leicester’s 20,000-strong Gujarati community. Having tasted some local delicacies, Anjum teaches Scottie how to make a fabulous Gujarati classic – Undihyo – a one-pot vegetarian dish.

Then it’s off to meet Daxa, a Gujarati housewife, who demonstrates how to make delicious onion bhajis and reveals the secrets of a Gujarati thali.

Finally, Scottie cooks up his main course – a hearty lamb curry with fenugreek dumplings and chips with cashew nuts. What will Scottie’s 15 curry-loving team-mates think of his home-cooked feast?
