I hosted Gordon Ramsay in Delhi during Gordon’s Great Escape, as he explored Indian food beyond the curry-house version most people outside India know. That meant taking him to Moti Mahal, where butter chicken was born.

Watching Gordon in that kitchen was genuinely fun. He came in curious, asked questions, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped into a completely unfamiliar food world with far less ego than you might expect. There’s something lovely about watching familiar food seen with completely fresh eyes.
