Hottest,tastiest curry

[bob]

Ok we have had the best curry house poll, how about the hottest tastiest curry on LL. My vote would have to be the red handi at Tandori nights.

Tried the red handi about 6 years ago. My memory suggests it was hotter than dragons blood. Tried it again about 18 months ago and it seemed much more do able but even so i cant see any competition

[bob]

Sean agree completly even phals don,t come close

Dunno about that but I had a Surma last night and am feeling very ill this morning!

[bob]

I was more or less told by waiter at TN not to bother with the red handi, that it's a sort of in-joke and punishment for drunken lager louts, that if I like it spicy the green handi should be plenty.

I ummed and aahed and erred on the side of caution in the end.

Green Handi was very nice with heat on a par with Sean's chilli-con-carne, but no fiercer.

*not to imply that it isn't pretty pokey btw*

Mockney the green is very good but some times it just has to be done.

Im a fan of the green but if i am present when someone finishes the red i will pay for it. I dipped some naan into the sauce and got no further. Those who know me know i can handle dragons blood (the sauce sold by chili-Pete) but this was something else

[bob]

Sean I must admit sumtimes I have to resort to mango chutny but you get no ring sting the next morrning with or with out chutny.

Saw in my copy of Living South that Surma wins "Best Indian restaurant in East Dulwich...as voted for by the registered users of the East Dulwich Forum"

Does our endorsement mean we get a free meal ?;-)

Some interesting stuff - including a two pager on Bellenden Road (shops and art as opposed to tarmac and parked cars)

[bob]

My vote went to the Surma but it's good to try something new.

I've not had a bad meal in Tandoori nights. It's always fresh, never greasy and staff are friendly.

The hot handi is great and ordering it always makes me smile.

I can also recommend Two Sisters Tandoori if you're getting a delivery

[bob]

Where is two sisters

[demery]

it's nunhead, but they deliver to ED.

i;ve only had delivery, but it's nearly always very good and it's incredibly good value

Gah, now I want a curry!

Just to be a pedant, are we after the tastiest hot curry here? Hottest and tastiest not necessarily being one and the same.
