hi vmixture
you could try bangladeshi naga chillies or even hotter dorset nagas both dwarf the bonnet a real chilli hit. there is a restaurant (not rajver this time) that does a take on the chilli masala and as the menu describes as a real vindaloo alternative, called chicken tikka naga, will do what i can to get the recipe it is closed at the mo due to an upstairs fire which is not the place you expect to get one with all the flambeing done in the kitchen ;D
did you find the curryhouse cookery? i read it regularly just to pass the time... it is a pivotal moment in history when someone took the initiative and did what millions of people all over the world wanted to do and he did it and he didnot even make any profit from it other than make someone else very rich and he still throws out stuff which is just a new version of the rubbish done in the last century all it is doing is lining his pockets whilst leaving the buyer very disappointed and i have atleast six of his books :-[ :-[ anyway after that rant i feel like heating up my phall sauce with some chicken i just had lying about in the fridge oh and some rice in less than 10mins it could be ready. :

if we can help then don't be afraid to ask however silly you think the question is we have asked them all!

kind regards
gary
ps hope you feel better looking forward to making your curry should help with hte recovery
