Some of us in Britain are probably also a little guilty of finding curries made with goat meat a little off-putting. Whereas Indians much prefer goat to lamb, and use it in what they call mutton curry. The Cochin first-class railway mutton curry that featured tonight is actually made using lamb shanks, but is full of flavour and fragrance from marinating over night and cooking long and slow. This is followed by the smoothing sounds of the Stuns’ls Sea Shanty Group singing live from Mevagissey Harbour, including Cornwall my home, Nelson’s Blood and Drunken Sailor. They’re are a small shanty group, who sing to have fun and keep the heritage of sea shanties alive. Very pleasing indeed.

His final stop is the salty old fishing town of Newlyn, the unlikely setting of one of Britain’s most revolutionary art movements. He chats to Barry West at Anchor Studio and discovers an intriguing tale of deception behind one of the most famous paintings produced here. Add a layer of the chilled apple purée to 4 glasses, followed by a layer of the toasted nuts and breadcrumbs. Add another layer each of apple and breadcrumbs/nuts and then top with the whipped cream and the remaining toasted hazelnuts.For those with a sweet tooth, it was time for a dessert dish this week with the inclusion of payasam, a sweet milk pudding with vermicelli. This one is a typical Tamil dessert and is apparently always served at local weddings. With plenty of milk, ghee and sugar this dish, like most Indian desserts, is best enjoyed in small portions! Heat a frying pan over a high heat without oil, add the chopped hazelnuts and toast them for 1- 2 minutes stirring frequently to ensure they do not burn, tip into a bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in the frying pan and fry the dried breadcrumbs until crisp and golden then add three-quarters of the toasted hazelnuts, and the cinnamon stir well to combine. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 25g of sugar.

Next up is a bit of Cornish history at Launceston Castle. Now protected by English Heritage, it was once the administrative headquarters for the Earl of Cornwall – a significant location where control could be kept over the various estates in the area. Recipes in episode 2 include a celebration of Giel’s fantastic cheese – Cornish Gouda quesadillas with caramelised apple and onion and a pico de gallo salsa. Delish! Trim the meat and remove any excess fat, then place in a large pan, cover with the water and bring slowly to the boil, skimming away any froth that rises to the surface. Lower the heat and simmer gently, with a lid on the pan, for 35 minutes. Tonight we also saw another vegetarian treat in the shape of the thoran, a dry vegetable curry from Kerala made from whatever fresh vegetables are available and cooked with mustard seeds, green chillies, ginger and grated coconut. Serve the vegetables and the broth in warmed bowls, topped with chunks of meat and sprinkled with the chopped parsley or celery leaves.On to the food now; the tamarind rice, or puliyodharai, we saw tonight was prepared in the kitchen of the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai. Once the rice is cooked, it is pressed against a stone surface by hand; as they believe it gives an additional flavour(!) You can look forward to trying some of the dishes from India on our menus – including Pondicherry cod curry, breakfast bhaji, Amritsari fish, pau bhaji, vegetable makhanwala, kachumber salad and more.

Recipes in episode 4 both celebrate the freshest Cornish shellfish from Porthilly Shellfish – moules marinière and Porthilly oysters. Meanwhile, make the dip.

He then climbs the Cornish Alps, huge slag heaps created by the clay mining and some of Cornwall’s highest land. Heat the oven to 140°C/gas 1. Process the slices of bread to crumbs in a food processor. Spread over a large baking tray and bake for 12- 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until uniformly dried but not browned.
