An Indian curry house is one of the most popular places to go out for a meal in the UK, and is part of British life. But many people don’t know their origins lie in what is now Bangladesh, after a wave of migration from there in the 1970s. In this episode Devina Gupta traces their history and flavours on Brick Lane in east London, where many people settled and started restaurants. Many have closed over the years, but their legacy lives on. And now more diverse and authentic flavours are becoming popular in the capital and elsewhere. Presenter: Devina Gupta Producer: Hannah Bewley (Image: Brick Lane sign with Bangla language version underneath. Credit: BBC)
