Rick Stein learns about temple cooking in the town of Madurai before taking a road trip across the spice-laden Western Ghats to Kerala, where he cooks a Keralan pork curry.
Rick Stein arrives in the southern town of Madurai in Tamil Nadu - the land of temples. Here, he learns the art of temple cooking and perfects the knack of eating with his hands. He samples the famous south Indian sambar before taking a road trip across the spice-laden Western Ghats to the land of coconuts, Kerala. For lovers of fish, the Keralan backwaters are the ultimate paradise and its coastline is vital to the history of the spice route. Rick cooks south India's favourite dessert, payasam, and a traditional Keralan pork curry.
