A 400 Year Old Curse, Coffee and Indian Chinese food

In 1612, the royal family of Mysore - The Wodeyars brought upon themselves a curse which lasted 400 years. About two thousand years before that, the Mauryans traded over a branch of the Silk Route, which gave rise to an Indian culinary tradition which exists to this day. In the late 19th and early 20th century, speakers of a certain language from North Asia migrated to Madras and Calcutta, and gave rise to a new bastardised cuisine. This week, in the tenth episode of Fabulous Foods, we travel across the Arab World, Central Asia, China and Europe, and discover the indelible influences they left on Indian food, without which, we cannot imagine our world today. Tune in, and discover the rich lessons they hold for us travellers.
