Normally, I would bake stuffed peppers in the oven with a layer of cheese on top just like this simple recipe with minced beef, onions and cherry tomatoes. This time round, I decided to make a one dish meal out of red peppers and hence used a mix of brown and red rice to bulk […]

Since my last visit to The Grand Gem Indian Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel in Johor Bahru, I really missed a good Indian buffet with robust-tasting dishes and lots of gravies and spices.
