Mild, medium or HOT?

How do you like your curry?

One of our customers is married to a very nice Indian guy, who happens to make the bestest curries ever :facelick:
I'm talking Johnny Depp special, with a bit of Aston Martin and Dior class thrown in.

Today he arrived at our stall with his wife, a scowl, twenty quid and six tubs of assorted curry. He never speaks, just hands over the grub and goes to sit in his car while the lady of the house shops, chats and tries to talk my Mick into moving in with her :p :

Frankly, she can have him so long as those curries keep coming my way :up:

No idea what any of today's menu should be called, but it included pea and spinch stuff, two lots of potato in slimey sauce and some unidentified meatballs in dry herby goo. All hot, yet each allowing me to taste the contents. How do they do that? It's an art nobody but Indians have.

As a strictly medium balti person normally, I've tasted hot and it's .... hot :)

Im not so big fan of Indian food, but Thai food I like a lot, I order it done the same way if they would cook it for them self, that very spicy, if the dish is ment to be spicy

When it comes to curry's I go for what I would consider a medium curry but most people that I generally eat curries with think are way way too hot. My favourite curry of the moment is King Prawn Saag, with mushroom pilau and a Kemma naan on the side. Yum!

I used to take the view that "the hotter the better", and although I wasn't quite at Daz's level I could easily down a curry that would make most peoples' eyes water.

Nowadays I can appreciate the subtle flavours better, and usually have a more mild curry. I still wash it down with a nice cold Cobra though :facelick:

Madras / Jalfrezi level for me. Great flavours and just the right level of spice - makes my lips tingle.

Vindaloo - too much.

Mild - I don't really have much tolerance for that sort of thing...

I love curry and when I make it, I make it hot...very hot :lips: :D

There must be a lot of hot curry in the kitchen taken along from long leave. ;)

I used to eat spicy and hot when it comes to curry of mid-east cuisine. But in the last two years eating too much kebab forces me to consume more fruits and fibers.

Food made of snake make me afraid of having words poisonous :)

I find that a hot curry just masks the flavour which in India before refrigeration and so on was the intention with what was pretty rancid meat.

I much prefer something ranging from mild to medium so like Dave says you can appreciate the subtle flavours. I'll usually have a Chicken Korma, a keema rice and a keema naan :facelick:

Me so hungry :(
