I have certainly climbed the ladder over the past few years but in all honesty, would not eat anything hotter than a madras or Jalfrezi. I like the naga taste but wouldn't have continued eating your dish as you have explained it. Especially in fear of the effects you have described the day after.

I've had so many spicy curry dishes over the past months that I now do not enjoy them as the dishes they once were. I have become far too familiar with them. Instead, I now prefer milder dishes that I can taste and dare I say, I have become bored with curry.

I once had a friend that I dared to eat a whole standard size jar of Coleman's Hot English Mustard. He consumed it with a burger as was agreed. He suffered a similar experience, with mustard weeping from his tears, he was even sneezing it through his nose. He had to ask for a towel to mop up the copious amount of sweat, you could see the pain on his face, but despite all this, he won the bet and earned his 2 pints of Guinness! Why he chose to do this to himself I have no idea.

If you fail, at least you'll have a  doggy bag for the next day's supper 

PS  - don't forget to put the babywipes in the the fridge for when you get home  ;D

The doggy bag will melt on the way back home and the baby wipes will need to be in the freezer, I hope he has some Voltarol suppositories, he'll need them! 

A mate of mine way back in the mid 80's tried to get me to drink a Chinese liqueur, he said it was Mai Thai  but I have no idea. Anyway, I was 15! and wasn't having any of it, so we got this drink put in polystyrene container like mint sauce. By the time we had driven back, 20 mins, it was seeping through the container!

I watched it too, but i'm game for trying it. One green chili in every dish, it's not a korma i'm use to , so happy to try.

Yes I can George, and can probably play slightly beyond that to some degree in that I can play some technically difficult rock music by the likes of Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

Nice, Satriani, Vai, some of the greats, but there are so many other greats i've followed.

I dedicated myself to Angus Young, but used to thrash out the usual pub favourites.

I must admit, my preference is for white rice, brown rice and then wild rice, I don't enjoy as much. I'm sure it's an education thing but I love the starchy flavour or white rice.

Phil, pasta I prefer to be fresh, but really love dried macaroni. Who would think size and shape would change the taste and experience so much?!

Will be travelling to Boston to visit Adeys restaurant/cafe 'Curried Away' on Saturday to take the Jal-Zala challenge.  Wish me luck!!  My wife will be videoing the event and put it on YouTube.

It was nice knowing you! 

Brilliant post Jamie! ;D

It looks fantastic and hiding it's evil well, the rice looks superb too.

"They can take our lives, but they'll never take out handbags" PMSL  ;D

...continue to blow across the top to stop it spilling over the top of the pan.

Here's a little tip for you, place a stainless steel tablespoon in the pot and it will prevent it from bubbling over.

So the two of you don't simmer the rice, but keep it at a high boiling point for the rest of the time? Pretty interesting! Personally, I reduce the heat once the water is boiling, put the lid on and let it simmer (without stirring) (:

I've tried cooking it all ways and to be honest, there is little to split it as long as you don't overcook it. The best results i've had are when I cook the rice in a steamer, but I opt for the fast boil because it is so much less of a bother.
