Learn how to make an 18th Century Indian curry || 400 Years: Britain and India || Episode 9

In episode 9 of our web series exploring the 400 year relationship between Britain and India, Lizzie Collingham and Shaf Islam teach us how to make a 18th century curry in a style that became very popular during the Victorian period. Join along at home, using a limited amount of ingredients and spices - will this Victorian curry be as good as your local takeaway?
The 400 Years web series was created in 2017 to mark the 70th anniversary of India’s independence; an inspiring moment to reflect on the profound relationship between Britain, India and the subcontinent’s rich history and culture. For many, it is only the events of the British Raj and Indian independence that define the relationship of the two countries. Both Britain and India where in very different places 400 years ago and the interactions between both countries throughout those four centuries have come to shape our world today in more ways than one would expect.
The online videos explore the tightly woven and at times tumultuous relationship between Great Britain and India. Through a series of eight short films, Inspirate and Image Nova will present a broader portrait of the two countries by focusing on the origins of the relationship, the people who changed the face of the subcontinent and the legacy of decisions made over the four hundred years that bring us to the present day.
To mark the 70th Anniversary of India & Pakistan’s independence, we are exploring the entire relationship between Britain & India over the past 400 years. In this first episode, we look at when Britain officially goes over to India - not as the government or crown, but as a trading and profitable company!

Interesting that the creators of the concept of 'globalisation' were Empires culminating in the greatest Empire the world had ever seen, the British Empire, who enabled the fusion of so many different food ingredients from every corner of the world creating new cuisines that hadn't existed prior. Other Empires allowed the creation of modern food cultures. The Portuguese introducing chillies to Korea, the Koreans then creating the hot spicy kimchi we know now, and also chillies to China. The Schezuapn province who took this import and ran with it to create the Schezuapn hot and spicy cuisine now world famous.
