Padma Lakshmi knows how to turn up the heat on reality TV– but can she get it cookin’ on a small screen sitcom?

The Top Chef host is reportedly in talks to star in a new comedy for NBC.

The proposed series – which could be called Single Serving — would star Padma as a woman working in the culinary world.

The sixth season of Top Chef, set in Las Vegas, premieres next month on Bravo.
