Mmmmmmmm an indian near me does Naga Pickle to go with it's poppadums, and a selection of naga curries too!
I thought it would be inedibly hot but it was incredibly flavoursome with the heat of a madras/vindaloo. It's a superb discovery for the BIR industry!

Yep they are hot but so much flavour. People don't realise how much flavour hot dishes pack. Probably as they can't get past the heat or only had rubbish curries.
What's BIR?

I used to be really naive with hotter curries thinking the heat leaves you with no taste etc but of more recent times I'm finding them to be so much more complex and delicious than one of many cream based dishes. Khatta Chicken/Lamb, Prawn Dansak, Lamb Madras, Vindaloo... I'm by no means a 'master of heat' but as an indian is usually shared by about 3-6 people we tend to get a selection and try a bit of everything! Tried a vindaloo strength fish curry not too long ago, the delicate lightness of the fish balanced the heat of the vindaloo perfectly and it just let you really enjoy the smokey, peppery flavours wonderfully.... *salivates*

If you haven't try a lamb pathia, probably madras heat level, but so darn tasty.
