I bought a little "mariachi pepper" plant in spring, and dumped it in a pot and forgot about it. This beautiful plant is now almost too big for it's pot. I had to pluck the peppers as they were almost too heavy for the plant.I really wanted to make molaga bajji, but my health conscious husband vetoed the idea. So, I used the peppers in my other favorite recipe - Mirch ka salan. If you have not tried this recipe, you do not know what you are missing! This is the perfect dish - it has an unusual combination of mughlai, north indian, and south indian flavors, and is both hot and sweet. Hemant Trivedi's cookery corner has the best recipe for this dish. I recommend you follow every instruction (i skipped the peanuts as I am allergic). You can use any kind of green chilli, or even bell peppers for this dish. Check out the other recipes on his website as well - the udipi sambar really has the hotel sambar taste.

Women like you make the world sunnier :) You write, you work, you garden, you cook, you dream and life's little pleasures seem to make you smile. You're adorable. That health conscious husband of yours is a lucky man. He has a wife who aims to make the best cup of filter coffee, grows plants in her deck and attempts to come back home and Kathiawadi food. You have a Masters from an Ivy League right ?
I'm no secret stalker. Just someone who thinks that women like you are rare to find. Shine on
