Topic: Ex hot chicken phal

[goncalo]

It's a nice thought.  But I can assure you that a video of me cooking would be comical, at best. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing anyway.  "Hi curry fans", "if you don't do this it is NOT a madras, etc.  I wouldn't be able to keep my face straight.  Not to say other people shouldn't have a go.  All the vids are useful.  It's just not for me; not yet anyway.

Haha!

For all I care, the video could be filmed a la chewy (sans the 70s and 80s porn background music ) -- just a fixed camera shooting the pan without narration, but with subtitles would certainly do. Consider it. ;-)

Found this rather nice description of a phal in an a la carte menu:

"Phal. Dangerously hot dish. Similar to a vindaloo but with an excessive use of chilli elements. Order with caution and at own risk".

Also just read the contents label of one of the little pots I bought at the chilli festival the other week. Contents: Dried flaked Trinidad Scorpion Butch T. Dried Flaked Ghost Chilli.  Sounds like a nice combo.  Smells very fruity.  Reckon I'll give it a go.

Back in the good old days, before the emergence of such extracts, heat was created the good old fashioned way.  How my old BIR used to achieve this

Rob, that curry's not extra hot phall, it's baby food  ;D ;D ;D

Baby food indeed!

Just looked at your effort Dave. Doesn't seem to much chilli powder? Light-weight curry mate.

Sprinkle it with some hundreds and thousands, and stick a tomato rose on top.  ;D  ;D

Grand unveiling soon.  The new and improved, ex-hot phal.








Mega hot. Seriously tasty!

Looking forward to it Bob.  Although just looking at it will make me sweat.

I love that death's head balti pan Rob. Very appropriate given the contents!  ;D

[goncalo]

love that skull

I bet that it is the missing ingredient..

[Kashmiri Bob]

It's a totally wicked presentation isn't it? The skull came with a little pot of Trinidad Scorpion chilli flakes I bought recently, stuck on top, but it fell off.  I glued it to the lid of my balti dish with araldite.  Going to suggest the idea to restaurants hereabouts.  I don't see how anyone could not be impressed.

The phal looks great but don't you use tomato paste?  TA's use a cs and a half per portion.  A phal is a very tomato based curry....and chilli of course.  Generally a phall contains 3 times as much chill as a vindaloo and 6 times that of a madras
