    I have eaten all over India, and apart from most of it being rubbish, very little of it could be considered really spicy.

    None of us has any control over what you eat or have eaten. If your personal choice has been to eat mild curries, so be it. To say that most Indian curries are not hot is silly.

    I did have a 'ring of fire' (burns twice) fish curry in Goa, and a pretty damn spicy vege curry too- but I asked for it spicy. Their vindaloo- which originated in Goa- was not as spicy as the Brit version surprisingly, but velly nice all the same.

    Why don't you ask your mate up the mountain what he reckons? On second thoughts, don't bother as he has shown himself to be as thick as you.

    Punjabi food isn't hot nor is the northern Indian stuff.

    Southern Indian is spicier and is hot as one can stand. I think the Sri Lankan curries are the best, quite spicy and the sauces tend to be lighter.

    Had a vindaloo curry in the racecourse restaurant in Bombay which was the best I'd experienced. So red it was almost black and with such depth of flavour. Problem was, as the meal progressed it got steadily hotter and eventually I had to give up. I think the place has been redesigned and replaced by phoney continental and poncey Indian nouvelle cuisine.

    Penang curries have suffered of late. The Kashmir has got complacent and offers quite mediocre stuff. Passage through India has improved though and their naan bread is the best.

    The majority of Indian food on that continent is pretty poor and better can be had in the UK

    I suppose that is something to do with the ingredients

    I often wonder how so many hundreds of millions of people can exist without having a curry in Southall.
