Spinning off from How adventurous are you with food and cooking?, here is a new poll. When did you last use a new ingredient in your cooking/ For me it happens to be yesterday. I used beetroot powder in an attempt to make tandoori style chicken look red! It didn't work but the chicken tasted good. When did you last experiment with a new ingredient? How did it turn out? And if you rarely do so, then why not? Please vote and tell us what the ingredient was and how it worked out.
