Her pet peeve: Finding only salt and pepper in the name of spices

This is her reaction when someone says they don't like Indian food

Padma Lakshmi is a big-time fan of dosas

When she's not cooking, she's waiting for food to be cooked

And her meme on Asian women in the kitchen? All too relatable

She's not above poking fun at herself either

But not all of her memes centre around food

She's also a fan of makeup
