Making curry tonight - how do I make my potion much hotter than the rest?

OGLothar · 4 months

When I have to cook Indian food for wimpy people, I finely chop a bunch of thai chiles or habaneros, whatever you have and put them in a bowl with some lime juice and cilantro. Sprinkle this over your portions and your plate, it tastes great and adds a nice fresh flavour in addition to heat without masking the curry flavours.

Here's how I make curry from scratch:

-2 teaspoons ground cumin -2 teaspoons ground coriander -1 teaspoon ground turmeric -2 cloves of garlic -2 cloves -1 tbs. ginger -thai red pepper to taste or for heat

If I am doing a chicken, califlower, or potato dish, a teaspoon of honey pairs well and adds a touch of sweetness.

Lazy: Add more peppers (Fresh, powdered, flakes, whatever your poison is) or hot sauces to your plate.

More work, better taste thanks to flavors blending in during cooking: Make two curries.

This. It was just here on /r/spicy the other day.

I've never tried it, but it's not flavorful (i'm guessing from the video), just heat, will be getting a bottle soon.

Scotch Bonnets or Habaneros go really well with curry if you can get a hold of them

Boil some chiles in a separate pot from the batch, and liquefy it in a blender with the water you boiled them in. Add that to your portion.

Alternatively, you can add chile oil if you can get your hands on it, but I'm not a big fan of using too much of it, as it gets chemically at some point.

Bit late to the show, but I will have curry simmering in a pot, pull out a portion for the SO(she can't stand spice) then put in a couple drops of da bomb hot sauce.. doesn't take much, doesn't add flavor just spice.

A quick and lazy way is to serve their portions out first and then mix some ground Cayenne pepper into yours

Don't. Make it spicy as shit then tell them "you eat this or you cook for yourself."

Then beat them 'til they pass out.

Throw them in a wood chipper.

give them yogurt or more rice to cool their portion down. Or as u are cooking make a spicer sauce on the side and add it to yours when u serve.

Some Indian recipes finish with tempering the spices (quickly frying in very hot oil, just a few seconds). That might work if you use dry spices rather than fresh chilies. Tempering gives the spices a Super Mario invincibility star power up.
