Chicken tikka naga curry

[Lysander]

Anyone tried one of these here from their local tandoori? It can certainly give a phal a run for its money. Had one last night and it was pretty powerful to begin with and then the heat ramped up considerably throughout the meal. I struggled to finish it in the end. I would say it's somewhere between a vindaloo and a phal.

Still, would do it again

So you don’t like hot weather but a fiery anus is no problem?

Yes indeed. Spot on.

I used to regularly eat Vindaloo's and put red bird eye chilis in loads of food I used to cook, like pasta bakes, but I have mild IBS now so that's a complete no-no

Madras is about as hot as I ever go and even that can cause issues.

I've tired one, never again as the next day came around and my backside felt like it was giving birth to the sun.

I dont like really hot currys.

I dont mind mexican style food reasoanbly hot, or things liek chicken wings etc, thai soup Ill eat pretty hot.

But curry nah, its nicer mild IMO.

What's it like (aside from very hot) - is it like a hotter tikka masala? I've had a few madras in my time, but nothing hotter that I recall. I had one from a place by Borough Market years ago that was nothing too severe to eat but the ring of fire the next day was honestly nigh on unbearable.

The sauce isn't creamy, it's more tomato-based and dark. Similar to a vindaloo sauce but thicker, and there's a little less of it.

As for taste, it's quite sharp and tangy and you can taste the garlic. It's an interesting flavour and not the kind of dull thud you get from a vindaloo and not as fruity as a well-done phal.

I personally find vindaloo to be a good all-rounder for heat and flavour. I've had amazing phals and terrible phals. Ironically I was looking for an amazing phal on my 40th birthday and ended up having a dreadful one in Brick Lane which was like the chef had tipped an entire packet of curry powder into a bowl. Still, the beer was amazing.

If in doubt, I always go for vindaloo or jalfrezi, or a madras if I want to play it safe.

That's probably a bit too hot for me but I would recommend a hot chicken tikka massala. I've seen most places do a variation of this. The extra heat really cuts though the creaminess of the curry.

Chicken tikka naga sounds like an abomination.

I did have a Naga Ghost curry in a restaurant a while back and they put in plenty of chillies. Admittedly we had been on the booze first, but it was a bit like an out of body experience for me with cold sweat, room spin and my companions (dining on lamb bhuna and regular chicken tikka) fading from view. By the time I had finished the curry I was half expecting to hear the voices of dead relatives calling to me.

That's interesting. I imagine it would be quite good as a madras.

Phal is at the real upper limit of what I can stand. Then it's a bit of a struggle.

Had something called a 'ghandis revenge' once which is about 10x hotter than a phal. Had one mouth full, then spent the next hour sucking ice cubes trying not to cry.

They did warn me when I ordered it, if I knew what I was doing.

You can buy the naga pickle sauce...

So it... with pringles...

Kozi Kari's can be insanely hot, mix of fresh green/dried red chillies and lots of it ... great taste though.

Make Naga curry often at home, very rare i buy curries these days. Hotter the better for me.

What I particularly like with Naga is the fruity taste they have, really nice.

Jalfrezi is my regular curry. Haven't done a madras in a while actually. Now I think about it, I did once have either a vindaloo or a phal but it was only a Wetherspoons ready meal one so doesn't really count.

I had similar once when I ate a chilli pepper that came with my curry. It reminded me of smoking too much of a certain herbal substance - felt like all of the blood drained out of my head.

Blimey, that's a bowl of oil/Ghee with a bit of food in it.

That's how it should be. Plenty of ghee.
