chilli/chili/chile peppers
Chilli peppers (of all colours) are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.
The chilli pepper (also chile, chile pepper, chili pepper, or chili) is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chilli peppers are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes. Capsaicin and related compounds known as capsaicinoids are the substances giving chilli peppers their intensity when ingested or applied topically.
Picking daily red and green chillies, I'm deseeding half and freezing as I go. These are mainly for Thai and Indian dishes I make. Wife grows I do the rest. These are all grown from seeds I grow. Jalapeños pablano and about 6 other types. Also capsicums as well.

I have a cookery book called "Mango Soup" by Jenni Malsingh. And in that book there is a recipe for mango soup. She took two Indian dishes and combined them. She took the Gujarati idea of adding mango pulp to karli (which is a gram flour and yoghurt soup) and the Keralan idea of coconut & mango...

We've just had another of those really hot days and combined with the smoke problems, I've not been too well or able to do much at all. So when hubby spotted this recipe I thought why not? After all, the only thing that needed cooking was the brown rice and I could use the microwave for that...
This simple dish is perfect for lunch. Its a good way to use up left-over boiled potatoes too. Cumin seeds love potatoes and mushrooms, the spinach adds a fresh note and the Gruyère cheese brings a luxurious nutty sweetness. Spike it with as much chilli as you wish!

A traditional Italian delicious recipe with spaghetti, so simple and tasty to prepare with a few basic ingredients . Simplicity in a dish full of flavour and satisfaction. It’s also the dish that saves you when there is a lunar landscape in the fridge, or when you organize a last-minute dinner...
Wife gave me seeds to germinate 6 weeks ago, some good results, I got 15 giant red chillies planted out now and looking good. These will be for my red curry Thai paste later. I planted 12 different other seeds out. Very small numbers grew. 1 El Paso. 3 serrano and one other, I can't read my own...
This economical dish is very easy to make but it does take time to cook. The plus side is that the preparation time is minimal. The slow reduction of the sauce ensures maximum flavour and although it may seem strange to cook eggs for so long, I think it does improve their flavour and its not...
Do you use both chilli flakes and chilli powder? If so, how do you use them. What foods do you sprinkle chilli flakes over? And what different types of chilli flakes/powder do you have?
I only have 2 types of chilli powder - 'hot' and Kashmiri - the latter is a beautiful bright red. Of course I...
My best confusion cooking occurred when I was pissed in both the UK and USA
meanings - rather inebriated, and annoyed at being ordered to produce a meal, late
in the day, when it wasn't my turn. I decided to churn out something so disgusting that
I'd never be put in this position again -...
