Inspired Kitchen: capsicum

What's Cooking?

Three years ago, we started two food blogs! Chitra Amma's Kitchen was a place to document our traditional South Indian Vegetarian recipes, written by my mom. Inspired Kitchen was more a dairy of my cooking experiments and accidents! I stopped blogging here, as my hands were more than full with work, family and so on!

Over the last few years, our family has become truely multicultural, and every new member in the family brings in new ideas, and fresh food cultures with them! I still am a staunch vegetarian, and in fact, on my way to becoming grain-free! However, the irony in my life ...I have married into a family of equally staunch non-vegetarians!

And so, in this blog we will feature all cusines - from different states, countries, veg, non-veg, anything and everything! We'll have posts from all the Inspired Cooks in our extended family!

...and so it was another evening, after a looooong workday. The temptation is strong to get a take away dinner from the Indian reastaurant at the mall, where they serve not so Indian food! Changed my mind... walked to the kitchen... opened the fridge... hmm ...hmmm...

leeks ...use them soon ....
cheese.... a little maybe ,
ready made thai red curry paste .......NAAAAH!
