Thank you for your appreciation. It’s was also bit surprising for me when I got to know about chilli history and how it become integral part of an Indian kitchen.

Thanks so much for reading and sharing that!

I know, it’s such a surprise, it feels like chilli has always been part of Indian food. The Portuguese coming to India for black pepper and accidentally leaving us with chilli is my favorite part too.

Before chilli arrived, Indian kitchens used black pepper, long pepper, and mustard for heat still spicy, just a different kind of heat. Really appreciate your comment!

That’s so fascinating to hear, it’s a beauty of an Indian cuisine that it makes everyone fan of. Also some spices like chilly, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom etc added vales into it. I am very grateful of your appreciation. Thank you 😊

It is so interesting to me personally as I love cooking. I inherited my flair from my father who had a passion for cooking. He was a ship’s captain and he visited India a number of times and learnt about real Currys, mixing the flavours and so forth. So the more I learn about it the better. Thank you so much for your interesting post. 👌

I just assumed it had been there forever, so finding out it came over from the Americas on Portuguese ships was a surprise. And the fact that they came for pepper and basically left chilli behind by accident is kind of hilarious. Honestly now I’m curious what Indian food tasted like before it, since I always think of it as the spicy cuisine. Great read, thanks for sharing this DEepak

Thank you very much for this interesting info. We use chilli quite a lot but didn’t know how it travelled before it arrived at our table.
