Mirchi in any form! The green, red, black, without it, not only food, my life is bland. It’s The Wonder Spice! Loaded with innumerable health benefits like boosting metabolism to the prevention of cancer, this spice can magically elevate any boring food to that “chatpata” level!
The One and Only!
If I can relate any person to this amazing spice, it would be Babi(dad). People who knew him won’t be surprised at all. However, his fiery, hot temper is not the only reason. His love for this spice influenced my taste bud and understanding the versatility of chillis in cooking and serving dishes.
Quite A Star!
Just think about Chaats without chillis. Dal ka tadka without chilli. Pasta/ Pizza without chilli flakes! I can go on and on with the list. You have to accept that, food all around the world would be so bland without Mirchi.
By the way, the popularity of this spice goes far beyond the kitchen. It’s used globally as a weapon for self-protection. Indian Radio Stations, high-end Restaurants to Bollywood Production Houses, everyone is crazy over Mirchi!
