WBD UK commissions Secrets of The Curry Kitchen
February 24, 2025
Premiering in May on Food Network and discovery+ in the UK & Ireland, Khan will take viewers into the kitchen of her restaurant, Darjeeling Express, located in London’s Soho. From Chilli Cheese Toasties to Coconut Prawn Malaikari, each episode will be centred around one of Darjeeling Express’ most popular dishes, with viewers getting a glimpse of how Khan and her team of nine women lovingly create them. Using techniques passed down through mothers, aunts and grandmothers, they honour the personal and rich cultural stories around each dish.
Inspired by the restaurant dishes, each episode will also see Khan guiding viewers through the preparation of three recipes they can recreate at home.
Khan commented: “I want to take viewers by the hand and share my love for Indian food as well as my tips and secrets for elevating your dishes and letting your ingredients shine.”
Charlotte Reid, VP Commissioning at Warner Bros Discovery, said: “We have been wanting to make a food series telling a delicious story of regional Indian cooking for a while now. Only by partnering with the wonderful Asma Khan, a cook whose food is inspired by her childhood and tells the stories of the generations of women who nourished body and soul with these mouthwatering recipes, could we do this. We’re so excited to be working with her and her all-women team in the Darjeeling Express restaurant kitchen. Asma will share the secrets behind these dishes, bringing exquisite, makeable, regional Indian food to our homes. Produced by the equally wonderful Sidney Street, we can’t wait to serve up this new series for Food Network.”
