1. - The F Word is back and
this year I'm launching
Copy !req
2. a competition to find our
best local restaurants.
Copy !req
3. Week in, week out,
Copy !req
4. the best local independent
restaurants across Britain
Copy !req
5. serve great food with passion and pride.
Copy !req
6. I believe it's time for us to
celebrate these unsung heroes.
Copy !req
7. Because I think they deserve
our support now more than ever.
Copy !req
8. Earlier this year, I asked
you where you love to eat.
Copy !req
9. Your response was incredible.
Copy !req
10. There's a wealth of
fabulous food in Britain
Copy !req
11. and nearly 10,000 of you
Copy !req
12. nominated your favourite
local restaurants.
Copy !req
13. With the help of my team,
journalist and foodie
Copy !req
14. Janet Street Porter,
Copy !req
15. and The F Word's maitre d, Jean-Baptiste,
Copy !req
16. we checked out the places you love to eat.
Copy !req
17. All three of us are
searching across the country,
Copy !req
18. high and low, to put these
restaurants under scrutiny.
Copy !req
19. We've got 10,000 nominations,
Copy !req
20. but there can only be one winner.
Copy !req
21. Who will be crowned The F
Word's best local restaurant?
Copy !req
22. Tonight our competition continues
Copy !req
23. with one of the nation's
favourites, Indian.
Copy !req
24. Curry Corner from Cheltenham
and Lasan in Birmingham
Copy !req
25. will be battling it out
in The F Word kitchen,
Copy !req
26. serving samosas, monkfish
in saffron cream curry,
Copy !req
27. versus sea bass in a Bengali fish broth,
Copy !req
28. and poached pears with
mint and cardamom custard.
Copy !req
29. Plus, I'm off to Scotland on
the ultimate Indian stag do.
Copy !req
30. - Safety off.
Copy !req
31. - Venison masala is on the menu.
Copy !req
32. In the recipe challenge,
Copy !req
33. Lenny Henry demands some
unusual ingredients.
Copy !req
34. - Put your Willie on this
block and let's make toast.
Copy !req
35. - And Janet's mixed
grill continues to grow.
Copy !req
36. - Oh my God, it's like
a coat of pubic hair.
Copy !req
37. - Welcome to The F Word's
kitchen, how are you feeling?
Copy !req
38. Shamsul, how are you?
Copy !req
39. - Very good. Fine, thank you.
Copy !req
40. - Good. What's the secret
about tonight's service?
Copy !req
41. What are you going to do differently?
Copy !req
42. - We're going to do
everything perfectly, Gordon.
Copy !req
43. - Everything perfectly?
- Yes, chef.
Copy !req
44. - Glad to hear it.
Copy !req
45. Aktar, how are you?
Copy !req
46. - I'm very excited, I just
want to serve my customers.
Copy !req
47. - Yeah?
Copy !req
48. Now, only one of you can walk out of here
Copy !req
49. this evening as a winner.
Copy !req
50. - Yes, chef.
Copy !req
51. - You're here because you're the best.
Copy !req
52. You gotta prove it now.
Copy !req
53. Curry Corner from Cheltenham
and Lasan from Birmingham
Copy !req
54. are our top two Indian contenders.
Copy !req
55. Here's how I found them.
Copy !req
56. We're a nation of curry fans.
Copy !req
57. It's one of Britain's favourite dishes.
Copy !req
58. I knew The F Word viewers
Copy !req
59. nominated hundreds of Indian restaurants.
Copy !req
60. But we could only choose two
Copy !req
61. to compete in The F Word kitchen.
Copy !req
62. The search took us all over Britain.
Copy !req
63. Determined to find the very best,
Copy !req
64. we went to visit your culinary heroes.
Copy !req
65. From Nottingham to Portsmouth,
Copy !req
66. London to Tamworth,
Copy !req
67. Southampton to Leeds.
Copy !req
68. - All of these things got
very different flavours.
Copy !req
69. It's absolutely delicious.
Copy !req
70. - We tasted food fit for the Maharaja,
Copy !req
71. but sometimes the surroundings
weren't quite so impressive.
Copy !req
72. I hope the food's good.
Copy !req
73. Because it's decor is shocking.
Copy !req
74. I feel like I'm in Pete
Daugherty's bathroom.
Copy !req
75. This is proper, authentic Indian food
Copy !req
76. served inside a cafe with cafe prices.
Copy !req
77. The food is delicious.
Copy !req
78. - It looks like this menu has been here,
Copy !req
79. has been sitting here for ages.
Copy !req
80. It's absolutely disgusting.
Copy !req
81. - After months of whittling
down the nominations,
Copy !req
82. we finally found two
outstanding restaurants.
Copy !req
83. Curry Corner in Cheltenham
Copy !req
84. gave us a fantastically warm welcome.
Copy !req
85. Nestling in the heart of the Cotswolds,
Copy !req
86. this is one of the oldest
Bangladeshi restaurants
Copy !req
87. in Britain.
Copy !req
88. How are you?
Copy !req
89. - Good.
Copy !req
90. - Good to see you.
Copy !req
91. - How are you?
Copy !req
92. - Very well indeed, thank you.
Copy !req
93. What a lovely place.
Copy !req
94. Head chef Shamsul Krori is
still going strong at 59.
Copy !req
95. Helped in the kitchen by his wife Saleha
Copy !req
96. and daughter Monrusha.
Copy !req
97. My God, look at the size of the kitchen.
Copy !req
98. It's small. It's minute.
Copy !req
99. So, you're not the head chef, are you?
Copy !req
100. - I think if I claim to be the head chef,
Copy !req
101. my head would be off,
so I won't even bother.
Copy !req
102. - Good.
Copy !req
103. - Very nice eyes, so
you see everything nice.
Copy !req
104. Rich people got nice eyes.
Copy !req
105. - Can you just leave us alone
for like two minutes, please,
Copy !req
106. so I can have a quick
chat with your mother?
Copy !req
107. Thank you.
Copy !req
108. Talk about proper, family
run, friendly business.
Copy !req
109. Incredible.
Copy !req
110. In the kitchen with your
wife, your daughter,
Copy !req
111. and your son front of house.
Copy !req
112. He's been cooking for 42 years.
Copy !req
113. That's before I was fucking born.
Copy !req
114. - Every single person in
this family loves food,
Copy !req
115. cooks it, eats it, thinks
about it every single moment.
Copy !req
116. - First up for me, samosas.
Copy !req
117. Extraordinary food.
Copy !req
118. You'd have to travel to Bangladesh
Copy !req
119. to get that kind of flavour.
Copy !req
120. And he's managed it.
Copy !req
121. - Lamb shank, there you go.
Copy !req
122. - The lamb shank just
slides down the bone.
Copy !req
123. I mean it's cooked perfectly.
Copy !req
124. I haven't even tasted it
yet, but you can just tell.
Copy !req
125. Mm.
Copy !req
126. That was fucking amazing.
Copy !req
127. - It would be an absolute dream come true
Copy !req
128. to be in The F Word's
best local restaurant.
Copy !req
129. It would mean the world to us.
Copy !req
130. - I am happy we're going to win.
Copy !req
131. - Thank you for that.
Copy !req
132. My problem is that this
is a tough category
Copy !req
133. because there are amazing
Indian restaurants
Copy !req
134. across the country.
Copy !req
135. Sadly, the bad news is
there's only two restaurants
Copy !req
136. that can go through to
The F Word restaurant.
Copy !req
137. Congratulations, you're one of them.
Copy !req
138. - Oh my God!
Copy !req
139. - Next time, it's gonna
be The F Word restaurant
Copy !req
140. for 50 diners, and trust
me they're tough cookies.
Copy !req
141. Congratulations.
Copy !req
142. - Thank you.
Copy !req
143. - I'll see you in London.
Copy !req
144. Definitely the right decision,
without a shadow of a doubt.
Copy !req
145. This place is unique. It's refined.
Copy !req
146. They've managed to focus on flavour.
Copy !req
147. - Gordon's expecting great things from us,
Copy !req
148. so we just hope we can deliver.
Copy !req
149. - Oh yes.
Copy !req
150. We do right.
Copy !req
151. Okay.
Copy !req
152. - So Curry Corner from
Cheltenham is through,
Copy !req
153. and in a group with such high standards
Copy !req
154. we found a brilliant and worthy opponent,
Copy !req
155. Lasan in Birmingham.
Copy !req
156. Good to see you.
Copy !req
157. - Good to see you.
Copy !req
158. - Stunningly stylish,
Copy !req
159. Lasan is a city centre favourite.
Copy !req
160. Head chef Aktar Islam was
just 22 years old when he
Copy !req
161. opened the restaurant with
his best friend Jabbar.
Copy !req
162. The young guns from the midlands
Copy !req
163. are determined to be different
with cutting edge cuisine.
Copy !req
164. - For Birmingham, we were the pioneers.
Copy !req
165. We were the first restaurant
Copy !req
166. to break away from the mainstream
Copy !req
167. and offer alternatives to your baltis
Copy !req
168. and your tiki masala.
Copy !req
169. - That's exquisitely presented.
Copy !req
170. Finesse.
Copy !req
171. - Very competitive.
Copy !req
172. You know, we set out to be number one,
Copy !req
173. and hopefully, one day we'll make it.
Copy !req
174. - Chicken, thank you.
Copy !req
175. Wow, with fine ginger.
Copy !req
176. Mm.
Copy !req
177. What's the ambition, Lasan, what is it?
Copy !req
178. - It's not food for people
Copy !req
179. who haven't got an educated pallet.
Copy !req
180. It is a very sophisticated cuisine.
Copy !req
181. - I haven't come across any
Indian food anywhere yet
Copy !req
182. with fried leeks, sun-dried
tomatoes, fried ginger.
Copy !req
183. - That's dried in the oven,
I mean, everything that goes
Copy !req
184. into the actual food itself,
Copy !req
185. that is as authentic.
Copy !req
186. Ultimately, we're trying to
bring the food forward a bit.
Copy !req
187. - So you're looking for Michelin Star,
Copy !req
188. or you're looking for
Copy !req
189. - I'm hoping to get Michelin Star, yeah.
Copy !req
190. That's the plan.
Copy !req
191. - I love his arrogance,
because he reminds me
Copy !req
192. very similar to myself,
you know, 15 years ago.
Copy !req
193. The biggest problem that you have today
Copy !req
194. is that you're trying too hard.
Copy !req
195. The arrogance versus the confidence,
Copy !req
196. you've got a little bit of me in there.
Copy !req
197. And you know, there's only two restaurants
Copy !req
198. that can go through
and cook in the F Word.
Copy !req
199. And you're one of them, congratulations.
Copy !req
200. - Chef, thank you very much.
Copy !req
201. - Just
Copy !req
202. - I do want to kiss you.
Copy !req
203. - Yeah.
Copy !req
204. - Woo! We done it!
Copy !req
205. - Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
206. - Thank you.
Copy !req
207. - I mean, it's amazing.
Copy !req
208. It is probably the biggest thing
Copy !req
209. that has ever happened to any of us.
Copy !req
210. - I definitely think I've made
the right decision at Lasan.
Copy !req
211. One hell of a cocky chef, young,
Copy !req
212. but bloody talented.
Copy !req
213. So I found my top two Indian restaurants.
Copy !req
214. Will the F Word diners prefer
Copy !req
215. Curry Corner's traditional charm,
Copy !req
216. or Lasan's ambitious
modern take on Indian food?
Copy !req
217. Who will be crowned the F Word's
Copy !req
218. best local Indian restaurant?
Copy !req
219. We're about to find out.
Copy !req
220. Now, both teams are gonna cook
Copy !req
221. 25 portions of their starters,
Copy !req
222. and make sure those
customers pay for your food.
Copy !req
223. - Right, yes.
Copy !req
224. - Excited?
Copy !req
225. - Yes, chef.
Copy !req
226. - Yeah?
Copy !req
227. - Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
228. Onto your stations, let's
get ready for starters, yeah?
Copy !req
229. - Thank you.
Copy !req
230. - Yup.
Copy !req
231. - We're back in London
at the F Word restaurant,
Copy !req
232. and tonight, it's Indian night.
Copy !req
233. The value of the Indian
food market in Britain
Copy !req
234. is around 500 million pounds.
Copy !req
235. But who does it best?
Copy !req
236. We've searched the country
Copy !req
237. and found the F word's top
two local Indian restaurants,
Copy !req
238. Lasan in Birmingham and
Curry Corner in Cheltenham.
Copy !req
239. Okay guys, first couple
of tables coming in.

301. - Thank you.
Copy !req
302. Good man, excellent.
Copy !req
303. - Both restaurants are cooking there own
Copy !req
304. Samosa recipes, it'll
be interesting to see
Copy !req
305. who comes out on top.
Copy !req
306. Lasan in Birmingham,
pride themselves on taking
Copy !req
307. authentic Indian cooking in an exciting
Copy !req
308. and modern direction.
Copy !req
309. - Its an old boys club and we
Copy !req
310. are the new generation.
Copy !req
311. - For their lamb samosa, they marinate
Copy !req
312. the meat in raw papaya paste for 24 hours
Copy !req
313. to make sure it's exquisitely tender.
Copy !req
314. And they're using a special kind of thin
Copy !req
315. biscuity pastry called nimki
Copy !req
316. adding nigella seeds
for an aromatic flavour.
Copy !req
317. - Aktar, the filling inside the samosa is?
Copy !req
318. - Lamb, spiced with the usual. You know
Copy !req
319. chilli, tamarind.
Copy !req
320. - Brazed.
Copy !req
321. - It is brazed but then what we do,
Copy !req
322. we totally evaporate all the sauce then
Copy !req
323. we just pound it, mix it with some mint
Copy !req
324. and and coriander and its
just put into the pastry.
Copy !req
325. - Very sophisticated street food.
Copy !req
326. - I think you enjoy it chef.
Copy !req
327. - I hope I like it as well
Copy !req
328. Here's the first four Aktar!
Copy !req
329. - First order of six coming you've got six
Copy !req
330. - Now you're using a
cutter for yours, yeah?
Copy !req
331. - Yes
Copy !req
332. - Okay, what's the secret behind that?
Copy !req
333. - The secret behind it is that
Copy !req
334. it'll seal the pastry off.
Copy !req
335. - Yeah
Copy !req
336. - And also this is how it's made at home.
Copy !req
337. - Family run Curry Corner in Cheltenham
Copy !req
338. have been serving they're traditional
Copy !req
339. home-style Indian food for 32 years.
Copy !req
340. - We've got probably a hundred years worth
Copy !req
341. of cooking experience between all of us.
Copy !req
342. Our family is all about food,
Copy !req
343. and I don't think you can beat that.
Copy !req
344. - For their samosa filling, Curry Corner
Copy !req
345. cooked their lamb with
roast spices, cinnamon,
Copy !req
346. cardamon, bay leaves and cloves.
Copy !req
347. For their dough they're
using a light whole wheat
Copy !req
348. flour that can be rolled
out into much thinner pastry
Copy !req
349. - This recipe is actually my grandmothers.
Copy !req
350. - Grandmothers recipe,
wow so a little more
Copy !req
351. home-style.
Copy !req
352. - Yes, any of my cooking, is home cooking.
Copy !req
353. I always followed my mom's step.
Copy !req
354. - Yeah.
Copy !req
355. - Doesn't it look fantastic?
Copy !req
356. Away now, five more please.
Copy !req
357. - Yes chef.
Copy !req
358. - They look beautiful, well done.
Copy !req
359. - Aktar, so you're quite
a modern, young cook
Copy !req
360. - Thank you very much.
Copy !req
361. - Does it annoy you when
Copy !req
362. restaurant expecting
a chicken tiki masala?
Copy !req
363. - It does annoy me, its not
something the experienced
Copy !req
364. have to endure very often,
Copy !req
365. Indian food can offer so much more
Copy !req
366. so why take a menu space
with a tiki masala?
Copy !req
367. - Right.
Copy !req
368. - Simple as, in my kitchen
I'll never serve that.
Copy !req
369. - You'll never serve
a chicken tiki masala?
Copy !req
370. - Never serve a chicken tiki masala.
Copy !req
371. - nobody make in UK my masala.
Copy !req
372. - You have the best
Copy !req
373. - I challenge any chef.
Copy !req
374. - Masala.
Copy !req
375. You challenge Aktar?
Copy !req
376. - Any chef.
Copy !req
377. - Yes?
Copy !req
378. - Any chef.
Copy !req
379. - How long have you been cooking, Shamsul?
Copy !req
380. - 40, 41 years.
Copy !req
381. - 41 years!
Copy !req
382. How old are you Aktar?
Copy !req
383. - I'm 29 chef.
Copy !req
384. - When was the last time you
ate a chicken tiki masala?
Copy !req
385. - I would have to say about 12 years ago.
Copy !req
386. - How was it?
Copy !req
387. - Horrible, I didn't like the amount
Copy !req
388. of food colouring in there I thought
Copy !req
389. it was totally unnatural in colour
Copy !req
390. - Do you want Shamsul
to email you the recipe?
Copy !req
391. - More than welcome, but it wouldn't
Copy !req
392. find it's way into my menu, I mean.
Copy !req
393. - Aktar, I don't use any
colour in my restaurant.
Copy !req
394. - What colour is it?
Copy !req
395. - Natural colour.
Copy !req
396. - What colour is it?
Copy !req
397. - Rice I cook
Copy !req
398. - What colour is it?
Copy !req
399. - Like curry, like a lovely orangy colour
Copy !req
400. from all the caramelization
of the browning of the
Copy !req
401. onions and all the rest of the masala,
Copy !req
402. you freshly grind the spices down. In!
Copy !req
403. Release flavours.
Copy !req
404. And it'll colour up the curry naturally.
Copy !req
405. - Alright but if you said it
was red then I'd probably say
Copy !req
406. - But we didn't tell you that
Copy !req
407. - But that's why, that's well done.
Copy !req
408. But what I would say, I mean when you
Copy !req
409. mentioned the tiki masala from
Copy !req
410. - Aktar! Aktar!
Copy !req
411. - Bangladesh, they don't
even have that practise
Copy !req
412. of cooking in Bangladesh,
they don't use a Kandul.
Copy !req
413. - Oh Jesus!
Copy !req
414. - Aktar you don't know
nothing about Bandul, India
Copy !req
415. - Let's agree to disagree
Copy !req
416. - No it's fine.
Copy !req
417. - That Aktar is an Indian Snob.
Copy !req
418. Yes?
Copy !req
419. okay, I need two at table
four from you, yeah.
Copy !req
420. - Yes sir
Copy !req
421. - And we'll go after. Okay.
Copy !req
422. - I'm counting chef.
Copy !req
423. - Oh my God!
Copy !req
424. now but as Aktar would tell us
Copy !req
425. there's so much more to Indian cookery
Copy !req
426. then the chicken tiki masala.
Copy !req
427. over six thousand
restaurants in the UK serve
Copy !req
428. three million happy customers a week
Copy !req
429. but the vast majority of dishes
Copy !req
430. they offer are either chicken or lamb
Copy !req
431. - Thank you.
Copy !req
432. - Its all delicious
but I believe with such
Copy !req
433. a limited range of meats we're missing out
Copy !req
434. in a world of culinary
opportunity, and to prove this
Copy !req
435. I'm going to recreate
a true Indian classic
Copy !req
436. using a piece of meat that you won't find
Copy !req
437. on your average Indian
menu anywhere, Venison.
Copy !req
438. Its a wonderfully rich
and gamey ingredient
Copy !req
439. that's a perfect match
for highly spiced flavours
Copy !req
440. I've come to Scotland in search of the
Copy !req
441. finest wild dear for my delicious new dish
Copy !req
442. one that deserves a
place on any Indian menu
Copy !req
443. Venison masala.
Copy !req
444. I'm hunting with Mubarak Jam who regularly
Copy !req
445. stores dear up here,
most Indian restaurants
Copy !req
446. use Halal meat and I'm
keen to find out how
Copy !req
447. wild venison can be Halal.
Copy !req
448. Mo is a muslim hunter, and he's going
Copy !req
449. to show me how he does it.
Copy !req
450. What was it that attracted you,
Copy !req
451. why did you want to start shooting?
Copy !req
452. - Well it's mainly sort of the
grow together kind of thing
Copy !req
453. you know shooting your own food taking
Copy !req
454. home taking the venison
home and cooking it up
Copy !req
455. and having beautiful food.
Copy !req
456. - Joining us is Jim
Mcerlane, who's going to
Copy !req
457. help us track down a deer.
Copy !req
458. - If you spot one and I
haven't seen it just go "psst"
Copy !req
459. and that's all, ill hear it, yeah.
Copy !req
460. - Don't point at it.
Copy !req
461. - Don't point don't raise any hands.
Copy !req
462. Are we ready? Let's go.
Copy !req
463. - I was born ready.
Copy !req
464. But dear are elusive creatures and
Copy !req
465. incredibly difficult to shoot.
Copy !req
466. What could spook him?
Copy !req
467. - Noise, scent.
Copy !req
468. - After two hours Jim
spots our first dear.
Copy !req
469. - see those
tall trees over there?
Copy !req
470. - Yeah.
Copy !req
471. - He's just out, he's just come out.
Copy !req
472. Here he comes he's
running along the bottom
Copy !req
473. - Fuck I still can't see him.
Copy !req
474. - There he is.
Copy !req
475. - Top left, see him?
Copy !req
476. - Oh yeah. Yeah.
Copy !req
477. Just as I'm getting
ready to take the shot.
Copy !req
478. I lose it.
Copy !req
479. - That deer won't be coming back now.
Copy !req
480. - Little bastard come back.
Copy !req
481. shit.
Copy !req
482. - Next day we set off again, but the deer
Copy !req
483. seem to be one step ahead of us.
Copy !req
484. Finally after several hours of hard slope,
Copy !req
485. Jim spotted a rouge deer.
Copy !req
486. Look
Copy !req
487. - Fuck, lets go
Copy !req
488. - No, stay there
Copy !req
489. - I can't see him now.
Copy !req
490. - He's in the dark, turn
the sight his way Gordon.
Copy !req
491. - Safety off?
Copy !req
492. - No.
Copy !req
493. - Yeah.
Copy !req
494. I follow up with a second shot
Copy !req
495. - He's dead.
Copy !req
496. - Quite a strange feeling
to be with it isn't it?
Copy !req
497. - Yes
Copy !req
498. - But when you got it
in your sights like that
Copy !req
499. your hearts just beating, beating, beating
Copy !req
500. - Absolutely.
Copy !req
501. - Big deep breaths.
Copy !req
502. - They call it buck fever.
Copy !req
503. - And its time for Mo to show me
Copy !req
504. how he makes sure his deer is Halal.
Copy !req
505. As well as saying the prayer
when he pulls the trigger
Copy !req
506. he slits the throat in a special way.
Copy !req
507. - What I would do to make it Halal
Copy !req
508. - Yeah.
Copy !req
509. - That's it?
Copy !req
510. - That's it one swift back and forth,
Copy !req
511. that's the main thing with Halal.
Copy !req
512. The knife has to be razor sharp,
Copy !req
513. we do it this way to get all
the blood out of the carcass
Copy !req
514. and just so its nice and clean.
Copy !req
515. - God.
Copy !req
516. - Well done Gordon.
Copy !req
517. - Its the moment of truth, time for me to
Copy !req
518. cook my venison masala for Mo and Jim
Copy !req
519. I will be using the venison that
Copy !req
520. Mo shot on the weekend
Copy !req
521. its been hung, and chilled
and more importantly
Copy !req
522. he shot it so therefore it's Halal
Copy !req
523. the first thing we're going to do is
Copy !req
524. make the most amazing dry rub.
Copy !req
525. Mix cumin, fennel seeds, chilli powder,
Copy !req
526. coriander seeds and chilli flakes.
Copy !req
527. Grind that down. Nice.
Copy !req
528. Rub the spices into the meat.
Copy !req
529. Into the pan. Nice.
Copy !req
530. Cook for about four minutes
Copy !req
531. basting continuously.
Copy !req
532. Then remove from the heat.
Copy !req
533. And as it starts to cool down in the oil
Copy !req
534. it takes on all that wonderful
flavour from the spices.
Copy !req
535. for the masala sauce grate one onion
Copy !req
536. season and add gramme masala,
tumeric, garlic and ginger
Copy !req
537. we could afford to make
it a little more spicy
Copy !req
538. cause its going up against
the dense rich venison.
Copy !req
539. Add chilies, chopped tomatoes
and a splash of water
Copy !req
540. grate a whole coli flower
and add to the mix.
Copy !req
541. Masala paste starts to absorb it, finally
Copy !req
542. add chopped coriander
and a squeeze of lemon.
Copy !req
543. And there you go, if
that's not worth six hours
Copy !req
544. pissing around in the
bushes I don't know what is.
Copy !req
545. But I'm really keen on finding out
Copy !req
546. if Mo likes my venison masala.
Copy !req
547. - This is good stuff.
Copy !req
548. - You like that?
Copy !req
549. - That's good.
Copy !req
550. - That's what I wanna see
the smile on your face.
Copy !req
551. - That's good stuff.
Copy !req
552. - What do you think of venison?
Copy !req
553. Everyone thinks its associated
with posh dinners but
Copy !req
554. - I've always thought it goes quite well
Copy !req
555. with the Indian spices in the cooking.
Copy !req
556. - Very nice.
Copy !req
557. Quite dense, quite gamey
Copy !req
558. - Yeah.
Copy !req
559. - Why don't they use it
across Indian cuisine?
Copy !req
560. - To be honest I don't
think it's available,
Copy !req
561. readily available as the
lamb and chicken and stuff.
Copy !req
562. - There's a new business for you.
Copy !req
563. - Yeah.
Copy !req
564. - Halal venison.
Copy !req
565. - Last table four Shamsul.
Copy !req
566. - Yes sir.
Copy !req
567. - Last table Aktar,
you've got one, table two
Copy !req
568. last two yeah, goes out like exact
Copy !req
569. same as the first two yeah?
Copy !req
570. Yes, last table good.
Copy !req
571. Well done, Shamsul
Copy !req
572. - Yes?
Copy !req
573. - Well done.
Copy !req
574. - really enjoyed starter all the flavours
Copy !req
575. worked together, the meat
was really, really tender
Copy !req
576. the coating was really nice and crispy.
Copy !req
577. - It wasn't too spicy, just a nice bounce
Copy !req
578. it was really flavoursome actually,
Copy !req
579. I was really, really impressed.
Copy !req
580. - And now how do you
think he's doing tonight?
Copy !req
581. - He's doing very well
Copy !req
582. - Yeah.
Copy !req
583. - Didn't expect him to
Copy !req
584. - You're not
in there helping him.
Copy !req
585. - No, no leave him to it.
Copy !req
586. - You had the Curry Corner samosa
Copy !req
587. - That's right.
Copy !req
588. - How was it?
Copy !req
589. - I am not impressed I'm
afraid, the approach was good
Copy !req
590. it was authentic in how
it was intended to go
Copy !req
591. - partly dough.
Copy !req
592. - With the pastry too heavy, too thick.
Copy !req
593. The filling unfortunately
wasn't flavoursome
Copy !req
594. or it lacked salt and other spices.
Copy !req
595. - Oh my god they're getting a
kicking from you aren't they?
Copy !req
596. Oh my god.
Copy !req
597. - They are.
Copy !req
598. - More importantly, are
you going to pay for it?
Copy !req
599. - No, I'm afraid not.
Copy !req
600. - No. Enjoy your main courses.
Copy !req
601. - Thank you.
Copy !req
602. It was great actually, it
was soft and succulent inside
Copy !req
603. the spices all complimented
each other really well
Copy !req
604. - The lamb was cooked
really well, crispy pastry
Copy !req
605. it was to die for, really, really good.
Copy !req
606. - Now nice to see you how are you?
Copy !req
607. - Welcome to the F word,
you're looking beautiful
Copy !req
608. - Thank you very much.
Copy !req
609. Now how do you thing Shamsul is doing?
Copy !req
610. How do you think he's
bearing up on the pressure?
Copy !req
611. - Its very well, he's doing very good.
Copy !req
612. - Are you a proud wife?
Copy !req
613. - Of course! of course I am proud.
Copy !req
614. - Do you want to jump in there again
Copy !req
615. and give him a hand?
Copy !req
616. no?
Copy !req
617. - No, no he's alright he can cope with it.
Copy !req
618. - Now what do you think of Lasan's samosa?
Copy !req
619. - The filling is okay but
the pastry is too thin for me
Copy !req
620. - Too thin.
Copy !req
621. - And I feel it too oily for me.
Copy !req
622. - And the most important question,
Copy !req
623. are you going to be paying for it tonight?
Copy !req
624. - No!
Copy !req
625. - No.
Copy !req
626. - No
Copy !req
627. - Wow, well how was it?
Copy !req
628. - The samosa its self was alright,
Copy !req
629. the lamb was very nice, very well cooked.
Copy !req
630. - Come on, yes or no.
Are you paying for it?
Copy !req
631. - Yeah, I'll pay for it.
Copy !req
632. - You're gonna pay for it.
Copy !req
633. Good to see you, excellent.
Copy !req
634. Curry Corner first, nice and crispy.
Copy !req
635. The pastry is fantastic
Copy !req
636. the samosa filling I want
it to be a little more spicy
Copy !req
637. its a shame because you
start cutting through it
Copy !req
638. the pastry is like wow crispy, delicious,
Copy !req
639. blistered all over.
Copy !req
640. And then you get to the centre
Copy !req
641. and it not as exciting as the outside
Copy !req
642. now, Aktar's.
Copy !req
643. Inside peas, brazed lamb,
Copy !req
644. mm, wow that's delicious
Copy !req
645. but it doesn't actually
look like a classic samosa
Copy !req
646. however the flavour is extraordinary.
Copy !req
647. Right, time for your scores, yes?
Copy !req
648. So how well do you
think you did out of 25?
Copy !req
649. Shamsul, how many do you guess for us?
Copy !req
650. - I tell you what, I've done very good.
Copy !req
651. - Aktar, how well do you think you did?
Copy !req

cooked their main courses
Copy !req
682. for there four diners, first up Lasan.
Copy !req
683. - Okay gentlemen, we've got
pan fried fillet sea bass
Copy !req
684. with the Bengali fish broth please.
Copy !req
685. - Lasan's Fillet of sea
bass and Bengali fish broth
Copy !req
686. is a modern Indian dish,
Copy !req
687. derived from a traditional recipe.
Copy !req
688. First Aktar heats mustard
oil, adds mustard seeds
Copy !req
689. - Just a generous pinch,
and we're gonna wait
Copy !req
690. for that to start popping.
Copy !req
691. - Curry leaves, onions and garlic
Copy !req
692. and allows to sweat.
Copy !req
693. he then adds two whole chili's
snapping them at the ends
Copy !req
694. - The seeds stay inside, but what we're
Copy !req
695. trying to do is get the
flavour, because we don't
Copy !req
696. want it to make it too hot.
Copy !req
697. - Aktar adds tumeric,
coriander, and chilli powder.
Copy !req
698. - A little bit more than the coriander,
Copy !req
699. three times as much as the tumeric.
Copy !req
700. - Next, fish heads full of intense flavour
Copy !req
701. Aktar is using rye Bengali carp
Copy !req
702. which adds to the
authenticity of this dish.
Copy !req
703. Then he adds tomatoes,
coriander, water and simmers
Copy !req
704. after an hour the broth is strained,
Copy !req
705. he cooks potatoes in the
broth and adds lime juice
Copy !req
706. the sea bass is seasoned
with tumeric, chilli
Copy !req
707. then coated in rice flour.
Copy !req
708. - Its gonna help us get
the skin very crispy

709. - They fry skin side down and turned
Copy !req
710. pan fried fillets of sea bass
Copy !req
711. in Bengali fish broth, Served!
Copy !req
712. Aktar what's the secret behind that broth?
Copy !req
713. - The major flavours
coming through on that is
Copy !req
714. the coriander, garlic
and tomato with a hint
Copy !req
715. of chilli for a bit of a kick.
Copy !req
716. - That's very nice, lovely.
Copy !req
717. - Aktar!
Copy !req
718. - Yes chef?
Copy !req
719. - From chef to chef I know

738. - Shamsul then coats the
monkfish with pepper,
Copy !req
739. mustard seeds, fennel
seeds, and ashuan an asian

Copy !req
753. - But its a very delicate flavour,
Copy !req
754. Aktar's broth has a
strong pungent kick to it
Copy !req
755. yours is very delicate.
Copy !req
756. - Its very delicate because
the fish is very delicate
Copy !req
757. - Right.
Copy !req
758. - And all we need is
something to just lift
Copy !req
759. the sweetness of the fish
Copy !req
760. which is the most important part.
Copy !req
761. - Each dish is looking like the first
Copy !req
762. lets go Shamsul, service please.
Copy !req
763. Lets go.
Copy !req
764. Right, now it's time to
check on Janet Street farmer
Copy !req
765. - This year I'm challenging
Janet Street Porter
Copy !req
766. to raise all the meat
for the competition final
Copy !req
767. at the F word restaurant.
Copy !req
768. Last week she started a farm with
Copy !req
769. seven miniature dexter cattle.
Copy !req
770. - Look I'm in charge now.
Copy !req
771. - This week I'm adding
to Janet's challenge
Copy !req
772. with the rarest breed of pork we've
Copy !req
773. ever had in the F word kitchen.
Copy !req
774. The wolly mangalitza.
Copy !req
775. To help her choose three
piglets, I've sent her
Copy !req
776. to meet an old friend
Copy !req
777. pig expert Christine Cole
Copy !req
778. - Forgotten my willies so I hope
Copy !req
779. they're not gonna be very wet
Copy !req
780. - No!
Copy !req
781. - Is that a pig?
Copy !req
782. - That is a pig.
Copy !req
783. - Looks like she's actually wearing a wig.
Copy !req
784. Sure this pig doesn't have a tupee on?
Copy !req
785. - No look give it a stroke.
Copy !req
786. - Do I have to? Does she got fleas?
Copy !req
787. - No, it should be alright.
Copy !req
788. - Mangalitza's were first bred in
Copy !req
789. Hungary in the early 19th century
Copy !req
790. closer related to wild boar and
Copy !req
791. with a nervous temperament to match.
Copy !req
792. Mangalitza's produce
beautiful meat with a stronger
Copy !req
793. gamier flavour, and as the
fattiest pig in the world
Copy !req
794. they're perfect for salami,
cured loin and bacon.
Copy !req
795. - They are, oh they're so wirey isn't it?
Copy !req
796. - I know its wonderful.
Copy !req
797. - Oh my god its like a coat of pubic hair.
Copy !req
798. - Well not like any pubic hair I've seen.
Copy !req
799. Anyway enough about the sow.
Copy !req
800. Its time for Janet to meet her piglets.
Copy !req
801. - This was taken just
over a couple of weeks ago
Copy !req
802. - Hm.
Copy !req
803. So,
Copy !req

Copy !req
857. - This ones much heavier.
Copy !req
858. - But you're leaning on it.
Copy !req
859. really important to do these checks
Copy !req
860. particularly after
they've had a little bit
Copy !req
861. of stress in a long journey
Copy !req
862. just to make sure they're
starting off healthy
Copy !req
863. you are now the proud owner of

Copy !req
878. - Yeah.

a special breed of pig,
Copy !req
881. Mangalitza pig, do you like them?
Copy !req
882. - Yeah. I like they're hair.
Copy !req
883. - Oh really.
Copy !req
884. - Blonde, a bit pubic.
Copy !req
885. - Or more so greyish
Copy !req
886. - No its like your hair but a bit curly
Copy !req
887. - Alright okay.
Copy !req
888. - I think that's why
you picked those, aye.
Copy !req
889. - So now you're saying I've got
Copy !req
890. pubes on top of my hair?
Copy !req
891. You had trouble finding
their penises as well
Copy !req
892. - That is the kind of
ting you're obsessed with,
Copy !req
893. I'm not!
Copy !req
894. - No!
Copy !req
895. - No but has been a part where
Copy !req
896. - Let me tell you in my
journey through life,
Copy !req
897. I've never been that obsessed
with the penises
Copy !req
898. - Isn't it
Copy !req
899. - Funny enough I know where they are
Copy !req
900. - Lets settle that.
Copy !req
901. - Its not worth finding
Copy !req
902. - Its not worth having,
now really good to see you
Copy !req
903. please look after my animals.
Safe trip back to the farm.
Copy !req
904. - Every time I comb their hair
Copy !req
905. - Yes.
Copy !req
906. - I'll be thinking of you.
Copy !req
907. - Come on guys you're the best restaurant,
Copy !req
908. so prove it yeah?
Copy !req
909. Tomorrow night none of
you get another chance
Copy !req
910. to do this again so really make it count.
Copy !req
911. - The sea bass was pan fried
to perfection it was really
Copy !req
912. lovely and the broth it
was absolutely perfect
Copy !req
913. - The sea bass was quite lively,
Copy !req
914. I think it was quite a
modern take on Indian cuisine
Copy !req
915. everything together it just
complimented each other
Copy !req
916. it was beautiful and I
would definitely pay for it.
Copy !req
917. - The sea bass, I like
very much but this is the
Copy !req
918. dish I find is too hot for me.
Copy !req
919. - Oh the Monkfish is amazing,
the flavours really work
Copy !req
920. and it wasn't too rich
it was pretty
Copy !req
921. the Monkfish, it was quite
tough and I just think
Copy !req
922. that the spices, there was no kick to it,
Copy !req
923. no kick to the dish
Copy !req
924. - Right so Lasan sea bass
Copy !req
925. looks amazing in terms of presentation
Copy !req
926. yeah, its bold but it's
incredibly delicious
Copy !req
927. that broth is very, very rich and that
Copy !req
928. wakes up the sea bass, very good.
Copy !req
929. Curry Corners Monkfish
looks more traditional
Copy !req
930. its very delicate, I like it but its not
Copy !req
931. spicy enough, that needs
to be a little more
Copy !req
932. aggressive in terms of the
flavour, the sea bass for me
Copy !req
933. the broth seals it.
Copy !req
934. Alright lets find out how you did.
Copy !req
935. Out of 50 take an educated guess
Copy !req
936. - What do you say?
Copy !req
937. - No I can't do it, sorry
Copy !req
938. - Don't know, don't know 35?
Copy !req
939. - 35 out of 50?
Copy !req
940. Aktar out of 50, how well do you think
Copy !req
941. that sea bass went down?
Copy !req
942. - I'm hoping well we'd be in the high 40's
Copy !req
943. - Yeah.
Copy !req
944. - Fingers crossed.
Copy !req
945. - Okay. Lassan let's do you first, yeah.

Copy !req
949. Really well done.
Copy !req
950. - 40 out of 50! Whooo!
Copy !req
951. - Well done, that's good.
Copy !req
952. 40 out of 50, that's good
Copy !req
953. so JB 10 customers didn't
pay for sea bass why?
Copy !req
954. - Too spicy
Copy !req
955. - But 40 out of 50 that's bloody good
Copy !req
956. right curry corner,

957. willing to pay for your
Monkfish out of 50 is
Copy !req
958. 27 out of 50

Copy !req
960. Damn, that's tough
Copy !req
961. that's 23 customers out
of 50 not having to pay.

962. Why not?
Copy !req
963. - Too bland, and the
fish too rubbery as well
Copy !req
964. - And the fish being too rubbery
Copy !req
965. - Yeah
Copy !req
966. - Okay.
