    #1 - North India

    S1:E1

    Gordon's odyssey begins in the north of India, home of our curry house classics. On board an express train he's thrown in at the deep end cooking for its many passengers in the train's cramped pantry car. Later, he meets his match working for a cantankerous royal chef, preparing a biryani with a difference for a huge wedding feast, before venturing into the jungle where he gets eaten alive by ants when he scales a 40-foot tree in search of the local tribe's favourite delicacy.

    #2 - Northeast India

    S1:E2

    Gordon heads off the tourist track into impenetrable north-east India, home of the country's best-kept culinary secrets. Leaving the 21st century behind, he immerses himself in the life of a local meat-loving tribe in Nagaland, once better known for head-hunting than their curries. Then he's off to Assam to enter a housewives' competition to find the best Assamese dish; and finally he sets up shop among the street food stalls of Calcutta to try and tempt the local foodies into buying north-east curry - Ramsay style.

    S1:E3

    Gordon heads south to Kerala for the ultimate seafood curry. In Tamil Nadu he hits a meat-free zone, and faces his biggest culinary nightmare: living in an ashram where the only food on the menu is vegetarian. Any tranquility soon evaporates when Gordon tries bullock racing. Last stop finds Gordon in Mumbai; both in the city's slums and later cooking alongside one of India's top chefs for a star-studded dinner at the Taj Hotel.
