Warner Bros. Discovery has commissioned Sidney Street to make new cooking show, Secrets of The Curry Kitchen.

In the show, Asma Khan, restaurateur, self-taught cook and one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024, will bring the world of Indian cuisine to the small screen with her debut network television show.

Premiering in May on Food Network and discovery+ in the UK & Ireland, Asma will take viewers into the kitchen of her critically acclaimed restaurant, Darjeeling Express, located in London’s Soho. Each episode will be centred around one of Darjeeling Express’ most popular dishes, with viewers getting a glimpse of how Asma and her team of nine women lovingly create them. “Using techniques passed down through mothers, aunts and grandmothers, they honour the very personal and rich cultural stories around each dish.”

Asma Khan said, “I want to take viewers by the hand and share my love for Indian food as well as my tips and secrets for elevating your dishes and letting your ingredients shine.”

Charlotte Reid, VP Commissioning, Warner Bros. Discovery said: “We have been wanting to make a food series telling a delicious story of regional Indian cooking for a while now. Only by partnering with the wonderful Asma Khan, a cook whose food is inspired by her childhood and tells the stories of the generations of women who nourished body and soul with these mouthwatering recipes, could we do this. We’re so excited to be working with her and her all-women team in the Darjeeling Express restaurant kitchen. Asma will share the secrets behind these dishes, bringing exquisite, makeable, regional Indian food to our homes. Produced by the equally wonderful Sidney Street, we can’t wait to serve up this new series for Food Network.”

Karen Ross, Executive Producer, Sidney Street Productions, said: “It has been such a privilege to explore Asma Khan’s mouth-watering food, drawn from generations of women cooking for their families. The Darjeeling Express is a professional kitchen, celebrating the skills, resilience and stories of these great women and all who came before them. After more than 20 years filming chefs, I have found it to be a real awakening and one of my career highlights; but I think Asma Khan does that to people!”

Secrets of the Curry Kitchen was commissioned by Charlotte Reid and Matt Reid is the commissioning executive for Warner Bros. Discovery.
