But here I am…so please be gentle, ...

Traditional Lunch Series - Day 4 (Capsicum baath, Pumpkin Pachidi, Thair Sa
2008-06-04 12:27:00 Capsicum baath is something I tasted in Mysore in one of the several feasts during my cousin's wedding. This was served on the day after the wedding where just the family members from both the bride's and the groom's side gathered for a final farewell. And what a meal it was...the taste of this rice preparation lingered on and on...well after we boarded the train to come back home. Some of them were lucky enough to get a 'packet' of this to eat on the journey back...The next time I tasted this was some weeks ago when Geetha Chithi made this 'on-demand' and I ate this for 4 continuous meals without tiring (she had prepared quite a quantity) . Yesterday evening when she called me, she gave me the idea of making this for lunch, and why not I though, as I had a bag of fresh capsicums (green bell peppers) waiting just to be made into a Capsicum Baath. A word of clarification regarding 'baath' - while it is pronounced just as you would the English word 'bath', it has nothing to...

Capsicum y cultura: la historia del chilli
2008-03-13 23:57:00 En la librería del Fondo de Cultura Económica, ubicada en la Av. Miguel Ángel de Quevedo, México DF, me di un banquete. No solo por el delicioso café que puedes tomar mientras navegas en la rápida red inalámbrica, sino por los excelentes libros que allí se consiguen. Transcribo el texto de la contraportada. Uno de los motivos que propiciaron los viajes trasatlánticos y el descubrimiento del Nuevo Mundo, a finales del siglo XV, fue el deseo de encontrar un paso mas corto a las islas del Extremo Oriente para adquirir especias, muy apreciadas en Europa debido a su escasez. Aunque Colon no encontró una nueva ruta hacia el Oriente, ni las codiciadas especias, si encontró una nueva y gran diversidad de plantas alimenticias; entre ellas, el Capsicum, conocido en México como chile y, en otros países de lengua castellana, como ají.

Green Bell Pepper/Capsicum Soup
2007-06-05 21:19:00 Yeah, yeah? It?s still soupy soup season for us here. Unlike other parts of the world where everyone is basking in golden sun and sand, we, not so privileged ones are snuggling under cosy blanket with a bowl of hot soup and dreaming of all that glorious sunshine. I just have to close my eyes to feel that cool breeze from palm-fringed beaches and lush green fields in my native. We are almost there? Right now while writing this post I can see the sun peeping out of the clouds and smiling. Oh!!! When will he grow up and stop playing that silly peek-a-boo. May be he did hear me grumbling about the same thing again and again. It?s strange as how the weather can be so deceptive. We had early spring in this part of the world and according to the weather forecast (here they come) we are on the way to one of the hottest summers in the history and I am waiting for the day when I can start grumbling about hot and sweaty summer days. Oh!!! Let me stop sulking and come back to my favourite subje...

Red Pepper/Capsicum Soup
2007-05-02 17:25:00 Have you heard of a famous quote which goes like ?It?s difficult to predict three W?s in life: Wine, Weather and Woman?. I am not sure about first W because I can?t handle any drinks which have above 0.1% of alcohol. I don?t agree with third W because I am one among them. As for the second W is concerned I don?t have any issue because it is something which changes faster than my mood swings especially where I live;)Last couple of days we were blessed with bright and clear sky which really cheered me despite the fact that I had badly sprained my ankle during our weekend trekking. Just when I started enjoying the warmth and ice cream, the weather changed as if some witch has spread her black magic. I was duped into thinking that the dark and gloomy days are over. I needed something really good to cheer myself and I was not ready to surrender myself to the temptation of munching my favorite Pringles. To distract my mind and eyes I opened a cook book which I had recently acquired from t...
