An easy cheesy spiced frittata loaded with vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, peas, onions, tomatoes and spinach and served with chutney.
This recipe was a result of my exhaustive pantry cleaning/organizing! While organizing it, I came across one long forgotten serving plate, an antique ladle, 2 trays and my Frittata pan! I was elated as I had forgotten that they existed in my kitchen and here they were, longingly staring back at me, telling me to use them! 
My fridge was loaded with lots of veggies that week as I had planned to prepare salad. I decided to use some of it for my frittata. I wanted to try out a new flavor for this recipe and that is when it
struck to me that I had purchased a packet of Moroccan spice. Since I had ever used that spice, I decided that it was time. I quickly went ahead with the prep. There were lots of veggies to be chopped.
