That is certainly true. In fact I believe that they invented a style called Phal or Faal (reportedly hotter than Vindaloo), to cater specifically for the average British Lager Lout, amongst whom it is a matter of honour to be able to cope with the hottest available. Personally I prefer spicy with mild to medium heat rather than hot. I find that excessive heat kills the taste buds.

They did indeed. However, the Phal now has a much hotter cousin (also a UK invention). Say hi to the Bollywood Burner[^]. Jonathan Ross made the mistake of trying it on camera[^]... I've read the receipe and it includes whole habaneros stuffed with naga, so yes, it will be an eye-watering experience. :doh:

From his posts, I suspect that Mustafa (Worm Trainer Extraordinaire) would actually enjoy that. :)

I suspect El Corazon would too....:rolleyes: Personally I know from experience that nagas are evil little things (we've a jar of naga paste lurking - and I mean lurking - in the fridge...) so I tend to stick to habaneros and our home grown varieties[^] (Thai Sun and Numex Twilight) when we're cooking. :) Damn, all this talk of curry is giving me the munchies! :doh:

Verrrry interesting. I wonder if it is one of those invented dishes like the good old Chicken Tikka Masala.
My wife insists it's an east-Indian dish (which means north-east basically and thus also potentially of Pakistani origin)[^]
