Fear not! My wife is currently in intensive training to raise her heat tolerance, but its a slow process!

I know what you mean my friend, After 40 years my wife has just reached the Pot Noodle stage. ;D
Slow is not the word for it

As indicated, I did indeed make this dish to full spec this time around and Ramirez hit the nail right on the head - the extra chilli and the chilli/coriander paste definitely did add something. And it was something wonderful!



It wasn't just the additional heat (I even threw in an extra chopped bird's eye chilli at the onion/peppers stage), but there was almost an effervescent quality to the heat which fizzed across the tongue that really made the difference.

And after the plate was cleaned, the warm, tingly mouth-glow stayed with me for half-an-hour and was very pleasant indeed.

After the first time around, this recipe was a keeper anyway, but it is even more so now. Brilliant!

Superb looking curry and rice Naga.  If you can drop a portion down to Grays I'd very much appreciate it mate    Got my juices flowing good and proper.  I must make this again real soon

Hi made this curry last night at the Mrs request, i normally am a madras>phall person so do not generally eat milder curries, but I have to say it was amazing. The Mrs said it was far superior and 200% more tasty than the restaurant curry we ordered over Xmas, (from The Raj Pavillion in Hull) and I have to agree with her as I had a sample of the take away Rogan. This is a must make curry and is definately one i shall be making again (but will be put a few fresh chillis in for the chef!!!) .Thanks for great post Razor

What are the consequences of not adding 5tbsp of oil at the start?

I really don't like oily curry.  I think that 3tbsp is a lot, never mind 5!!!

Trying to shed some pounds in our house!!!

Far better to remove (and save, and re-use) any excess oil just before serving rather than cut down at the outset; the oil is the primary flavour carrier in a spice-based dish, and there are no truer words than "no oil, no curry".

Thanks for the response Phil.

I presume you just scoop it out when ready to serve if its too oily??
