Mild, medium or HOT?

mouth watering just at the thought of a decent curry - the thing I miss most from the UK :facelick:
vindaloo is mild... I'd go for extra-hot :D :D :D

I only like mild curries... I don't like food that hurts me so I avoid anything too spicey.

That is pretty much what I always chose, or cooked for myself. Like Dave said, it's better to taste the ingredients rather than just heat.

However, with the assorted curries we're just about to finish (it's on the plate right now warming!) you can taste everything yet still get strong heat - and it's BRILLIANT :D

Mild to medium for me. Always different, and I don't order rice with dinner. Eat as the indians do with breads. I have an Indian boss so I get some special stuff.

I normally go for medium spicy/hot level, but I bet our mild/medium is probably your max hot :)

rah, you got that right....curries (especially these north indian, mughlai style) have to be eaten with breads (indian breads that is, Naan, Roti or Paratha) :up:

I'm a mild kinda guy. I do not ever, ever, want to taste one of Pino's curries :s

I love curry more than any other food on the planet. My ex-wife is half Indian and half English. Her mother,Indian, made the most awesome crab curry. My wife now, has a really great customer in Thailand, and he sent us a large box of red,green and yellow Thai curry paste, so, we are tucking into the Thai curry these days, MMMMmmmmmm, delicious. Hot,medium or mild, it is all good IMO.

Any strength personally

Hot.

I'm still lurking about here and guess what i had for tea tonight. You guessed it, curry. A very nice medium lamb tikka biryani with a keema naan bread. Very nice indeed it was. Still have a hotter curry ever now and then but also enjoy the medium ones too.
