Ever heard of Phall? It is an Indian curry dish, supposedly the hottest one out there. According to a very small amount of searching on Google, I found that it is typically made with twelve habanero peppers (the good stuff probably has a few more different types of peppers mixed in there), a large amount of fresh ginger, and other delicious, warm spices. Think of the flavor of a really good Texas chili that has been cooking for hours, allowing those deep, warm flavors to meld...you get the same effect with phall, except that it sets your mouth ablaze.
Our waiter was kind enough to warn us about this when ordering, and then after we were able to dig into it a bit, he offered to bring us some raita to cool us down, but did we need it? Nah. We had delicious, slightly charred naan bread and basmati rice with peas and coconut.
"It's so angry!"
Next step: learn to cook this and many other delicious, warm Indian dishes
