episode description
The India foodie excursion continues. This time, Sashi is in the eastern fringe of India. Revelling in the colonial splendor of Kolkata, exploring bustling fish markets and a unique story of India’s only Chinatown. Sashi then tracks down south to Orissa where he comes across a once in a lifetime opportunity and access to Puri’s Jagannath temple’s maha bhog; the massive effort of religious food offerings made daily to Lord Jagannath, one of the world’s largest kitchen operations that feed over 100,000 people every single day! Following recipes and ingredients that have been unchanged for millenia - a stark contrast to the previous episode showcasing Masque and their cutting edge techniques. It just goes to show how diverse India’s culinary spectrum really is!
