Please tell me i'm not the only person to get the facials and sweats when thinking about or watching a hot dish being prepared?

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.
