In addition to being one of the funniest people I follow on Twitter, Broti Gupta is a New Yorker contributor and TV writer currently working on The Simpsons. She and Actress Dylan Gelula (who also shared some recs on Perfectly Imperfect) host Lecture Hall, a hilarious podcast where they try to educate each other on various topics and occasionally bring on great guests such as Rachel Sennott, Dan Allegretto, Naomi Fry, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt. Lucky for us, Broti is here to tell us what she’s been into.

I am addicted to spicy food, especially Indian. The bird’s eye chili peppers (aka Thai chili peppers) are so, so spicy and putting one or two in a dish kicks it up to a whole new level of heat and flavor. I put these chilis in everything – obviously every Indian dish I cook, but also I have started putting them in like sandwiches and other non-Indian foods that I might want to make spicy and it rocks.
