"Kya baat hain..." was the first reaction when I tasted this fiery concotation. I am an eternal lover of spices...nope not cloves and cinnamom but chillies both green and red ones.
Incidently that afternoon we had a lunch having a fiery taste...something which instead of giving me smack made my throat cough...it was a fieriness of cloves (something I am not fond of) but chillies...give me them anytime
Though a native of south america, chillies have become an eternal part of indian cuisine...can one imagine pao bhaji or fiery avakai without chillies?
It seems there are almost 300 varieties of chillies...most of them natives of mexico...ola...damn drooling...pasilla or ancho chillies to name a few and imagine tasting bland dominos without jalapenos... then there are many of mexican dishes including nachos...with that combo of chillies and tomatoes...or thai curry with birds eye chilly
there is paprika which is used mostly used in europe to give an xta zing to a bland cuisine
Magar hum bhi kuch kam nahin...we do have our own share too...there is laungi mirchi of kolhapur or the guntur of andhra pradesh...and a colorful but tasteless kashmiri chilly...then there are capsicums or "shimla mirchi" used for stuffing
my mouth is watering already...and before I form a pool here...let me go and have one more smack of "kolhapuri thecha"

Silly thoughts silly ideas but sane way of expressing them makes a silly idea sometimes become a masterpiece...and a silly person real immortal {as said in my now defunct blog :)}
