Chef Rick Stein starts his voyage trough India's cuisines and search for the best curry by asking what that term means in Calcutta, pointing out the British Indian restaurants are usually run by Bangladeshis. Rick enjoys real West Bengal cooking in the buzzing, dirt-poor metropolis, a creation of colonialism.
