Well not me!

But then I've never really been into fiercely hot curries, particularly not ones made hotter by simply bunging in lots more chilli powder as I'm not generally a fan of chilli powder per se, I much prefer the flavour fresh green chilli's to chilli powder.

But then my definition of hot and your definition of hot might be somewhat different. A couple of teaspoons of medium heat chilli powder and 3 or so 3 inch de-seeded fresh green chilli's roughly sliced would be about as hot as I would want to go. Call me a wuss if you like, I don't mind :)

I prefer the subtlety of flavour depth than fierce heat. A really good medium heat old school Bhuna would be my dish of choice every time.
