The woman who taught the West how to cook Indian food

The ground-breaking Indian cookery programme broadcast at the BBC launched 4 decades ago. It was provided by the Indian professional turned food article writer Madhur Jaffrey.

‘Madhur Jaffrey’s Indian Cookery’ was the first mainstream series about Indian native food broadcast in the united kingdom and the first to become presented by a good Indian. It was furthermore the first to reach a mass audience. The particular programme was an immediate success and produced its presenter children name.

Madhur Jaffrey spoke to Witness history about the program and why representation matters.
